When the software filter 'section' is selected. (section/status/origin/custom filters/search results/architecture)
Scrolled down to lower category. (games/graphics/any category where the window is scrolled)
When a software package is selected for install/removal the category window is scrolled back to the top of the list.
The category is still highlighted so the pkg list is not changed.
The category list must be scrolled down from the top of the list, so that the next category can be selected. Continue on to Local, Multiverse, Universe.
This glitch (feature) has been in the app for quite a while. Debian 8, Ubuntu 10.04 are the first times I noticed this behavior. It is in KDE and Gnome desktops. I dislike the mint mod, but can see the reason behind disabling update button. I love Synaptic and prefer it over the slow 'software discovery' app.
