[Bug 834341] Re: Misaligned price in tile when there are no reviews

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

Thanks for this perceptive bug report.

Maybe it's clearest to compare potential solutions by describing the
drawbacks of each.

* Status quo: The price for items with reviews is misaligned with price for items without reviews.
* "(0)" when there are no reviews: Not obvious, and the "(0)" would repeat for almost every "What's New" item post-release.
* "Not yet reviewed" text: Would be monotonous when repeating for almost every "What's New" item post-release.
* Blank line when there are no reviews: Would look odd.
* Position price above the reviews rather than below it: Would make price harder to find, next to category/subcategory text at the same font size (which seems to be missing from your screenshot, for some reason).
* Move price below the icon, like it was before yesterday: Would look awkward and make tiles needlessly taller.

I'm inclined to say that the misaligned price, while a little awkward,
is the least bad option of those six. What other options are there?

Title:
  Misaligned price in tile when there are no reviews

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  software-center 4.1.20, Ubuntu 11.10 alpha

  When an application has no reviews, it causes the price (e.g. "Free") to be moved up a line and therefore isn't aligned horizontally with other application licenses.
  Perhaps this could be resolved with a placeholder for the stars "not yet reviewed" or simply (0)
