Steps to reproduce: 1. Have at least one other machine to sync from, then start SC 2. Navigate to upper left corner 3. Click 'File' 4. Choose 'Sync Between Computers...' 5. Select the machine you want to sync from 6. Select any package in the list of items which are not on your machine 7. Click 'More Info' 8. Now try to get back to the list of packages, i.e. by clicking the left arrow / back button. Notice that nothing happens. 9. Click on the left arrow / back button again You are now back at the main screen of SC. 10. Try getting back to the list, i.e. by repeating steps 2-4 Notice that nothing happens. The only way to get back to get this working again is to restart SC.
