Bug Description

Binary package hint: software-center

I was searching the software center for some gstreamer plugins, with technical items showing, and it was getting slow. then, a report popped up that the software center had crashed. i started sending the report, and then the message came up again. i hit close. during this time, the software center was in fact totally functional, and hadn't crashed. at the time of this writing, the same instance is still running functionally.

expectations: nothing out of the ordinary.
actual occurrence: glitchy bug reporting system
