Comment 7 for bug 431907

The regression was introduced in revision 553.

From my tests with revision 552 though, it seems the view was automatically switched to "In Progress" whenever an (un)installation was started, which is not the case any more. Therefore the remembered view was the one selected right before switching.

Now that the switch to "In Progress" is not automatic any more, as I understand the specification (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#%E2%80%9CIn%20Progress%E2%80%9D%20section) we need to handle the case where the user selects a package for installation from view A, then while the installation is being performed goes to explore view B, then click on "In Progress" to monitor the progress of the pending task. When the installation is complete, the view should be switched back to B, not A (comments on this interpretation are welcome).

The branch linked implements this behaviour.
