In Utopic 161, anything which takes the user away from the app's install progress screen actually makes it look like the install was cancelled. And then some time later, the apps scope will jerk and force-redraw awkwardly with some visual errors, and then the new app will show up in the list of locally-installed options.
So... not ideal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity-scope-click in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1267184 Title: [Dash] apps that are being downloaded/installed are not shown differently from un-installed apps Status in Ubuntu UX bugs: Fix Committed Status in The Unity 8 shell: Triaged Status in “unity-scope-click” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “unity8” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: If a user chooses to install an app but doesn't stay on the app preview while it downloads and installs (or the device sleeps in the meantime), when they see the list of apps, the app that is being downloaded is still shown as un-installed, with no distinction made. This needs design input - some platforms show the app in the list of 'installed apps' (eg iOS home screen) but have a progress bar or some other badge to show that it's not ready to run yet. This affects both unity8 and the scope because there will be additional state for the scope to send to the dash in the apps list results.
