Public bug reported:
In attempting to delete ~20 .deb files, I selected them, then I accidently
pressed <enter>, instead of <delete>.
This caused the system to use up almost all its resources in trying to fulfil
my (accidental) commands. The cpu went to 100% usage, my 4GB of RAM was swiftly
filled, the swap memory became nearly filled as well. It took a long time, but
I was able to close the Software Centre instances one by one.
Need a confirmation box in these sorts of cases. This would prevent the user
from making a mistake like this. It had almost catastrophic consequences.
