Title:
  Hard to tell which stars apply to which item in a list view

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  On left, I see software names. On right, I see software stars. As I
  move my head or my eye ball from left to right, I see white background
  above and below, but I have to go horizontally and I find matching a
  software's name with the software's stars hard.

  1. visit a big category listing
  2. skip to a software about in the middle
  3. move your eye ball from left to right, white background won't help, match the name with the stars
  expected:
  I know what stars belong to what name
  actual:
  it's hard to match stars with name

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#software-list-view>: "In “All
  Software” and “Installed”, the titles of items with ratings should be
  followed by stars for the average rating, and the number of ratings in
  brackets. If the width of those three things is greater than the width
  of the list, the stars and number should together be flush at the
  trailing end of the row, while the title is ellipsized at its end.
  (Previously the stars were always flush at the trailing end, making it
  difficult to see which rating belonged to which item. Moving them next
  to the title means stars are not aligned for different rows, but that
  matters little, because the ratings will much more often be used for
  sorting than for direct comparison.)"
