Bug Description

software-center trunk r2261, Ubuntu 11.10 beta 1

1. At the home screen, type "drawing" in the search field.
2. Pause for a second.
3. Add " program" to the search field.
4. Click Back.

What happens:
4. The search field returns to saying just "drawing".

What should happen:
4. The search field is cleared and USC returns to the home screen.

The slower you type, and the faster your computer, the more items are added to the history, and the more you have to click "Back".

<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#search-results>: "The current search should become the last item in the Back/Forward navigation history, with the previous item being the same screen without any search text. (That is, if you click Back once, the search should be cleared.)"
