[Bug 830700] [NEW] [GTK3] Clicking "Install" jumbles up the software description for 25 seconds

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

Public bug reported:

software-center-gtk3 trunk r2155, Ubuntu Ocelot

1. Go to the screen for something you don't have installed.
2. Click "Install".
3. Wait 25 seconds.

What happens:
2. The software description becomes much narrower, and some of the text overlaps itself.
3. After 25 seconds, the description returns to normal.

The description also returns to its usual width if you:
* click "Cancel" in the authentication alert, or
* choose "Not Now" in the "Add to Launcher?" panel.

The problem still occurs even if your authentication is cached, and it
does not occur when removing software. So I think it is something to do
with the "Add to Launcher?" panel.
