In recent development versions of software center in lucid (current version is 1.1.14), the behavior when installing a package has changed. Now, the "In Progress" section is no longer automatically displayed as it was in older versions such as the one in Karmic. Instead, a small progress bar is displayed directly inside the list row itself for the package being installed. With this change, you can simply continue to browse packages while others are installing, and there is no interruption or unexpected switching of the list display at the completion of an install or remove.
This new version is available in lucid for testing if desired, or you can simply wait for the release of 10.04 LTS, the Lucid Lynx, scheduled for the end of April.
