Ubuntu Software Center does not have a Quit command at all, so strictly
speaking, this report is Invalid. :-)
Now, I understand that it might be surprising that installation/removal
tasks continue when the USC window is closed. (Actually, I discovered
yesterday that they continue even if you're logged out completely.) But
consider the alternative: as Vish described, we would need to either put
up an error message saying that you couldn't close the window, or put up
a confirmation alert asking if you wanted to switch to showing progress
in the background. And all other things being equal, a design that does
not require an alert box is better than one that does.
That leaves only the challenge of notifying you that a task has finished
when the window isn't there to do it, which is bug 528584. But even
insisting on having the window open wouldn't really fix that bug -- as
demonstrated by the fact that none of that report's current three
duplicates even mention the window being closed. They're complaining
about lack of notification in general.
