Bug Description

software-center 5.1.14.1, Ubuntu 12.04

When I review an application there's an additional icon for the review window but the icon looks the same as USC icon.

Fixing this bug would also fix bug 757430.

Hi mmiicc, and thanks for your report! Indeed, there is a separate icon in the launcher for the duration of the time that a review window is active. This occurs because the review window is a separate process from Software Center itself. So, I'm not quite sure if this is actually a "bug". Let me ask the Ubuntu Software Center designer, mpt, for his take on it (I will set this as incomplete and assign it to him).

Thanks again! And thanks, mpt!

This is a problem to me too. It should either be fully integrated in USC (which would make a lot more sense as it is an obvious feature), or either get a different icon.
But really, the first option is by far the best one: we don't need to clutter the launcher any more.

I agree with Stéphane. Ubuntu Software Center is the only place where you can submit ratings and reviews. And even if it wasn't, there would still be no good reason to show the review window as being separate from the Ubuntu Software Center application.
