Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: software-center
Ubuntu Software Center 2.1.15, Ubuntu Maverick
Some applist views in Software Center contain many items, and when these
views are selected there can be a delay of up to a few seconds or more
before the list is displayed. Currently, a wait cursor is displayed
during this period, but this isn't terribly effective as the applist
panel remains blank during this time and for many folks it feels as if
nothing is happening, or that the program has frozen.
A spinner in the applist panel would provide much clearer feedback that
something is happening while an applist is loading.
Of course, the ultimate goal is to reduce or eliminate these kinds of
delays but that is a subject of other bug report(s).
