Public bug reported:
this happens reliably on my Ubuntu 18.10.
repro:
- open Ubuntu Software, the user is prompted with the "home" page (featured
apps, categories, editor's picks and so on)
- select any application, eg. Slack (no need to install it)
- close the Ubuntu Software window
- re-open Ubuntu Software, the Slack page is displayed
the issue is that the user is now "stuck" on the Slack page since there is no
easy way to get back to the home page (see screenshot):
- click on the "back" button (top left corner), nothing happens
- there is no link/command/menu to the home page
- there is no search button
the only workaround I'm aware of is:
- hit the search shortcut
- search for a random string
- finally the All/Installed/Updates menu is displayed, so the user can click on
"All" to get back to the home page
