[Bug 852086] [NEW] Cannot put focus back to app page by a mouse click

[Philip Langer]

Public bug reported:

I encountered this in 11.10 oneiric beta 1 in the new (btw, awesome)
software center:

Being on an "app description page" after clicking [More Info] of an app
(e.g., GParted), the focus first is on the scrollable page, which is why
I can hit page up/page down or cursors to scroll up or down on the app
description page. However, once I click, e.g., on the drop down menu of
[All Software] (i.e., taking away the focus off the app description
page) and click again on the app title or description of the app
description page currently being displayed, it won't get back the focus.
Consequently, I cannot scroll using page up/page down/cursors... (Of
course, I can scroll using the mouse wheel though)

The only way for giving the focus back is to click on the checkbox for
add-ons or on a review.

This is a real minor, but I think, the fix also should not be too hard
as, I guess, the description and title should just be turned into
"selectable" or "highlightable" to be able to give back the focus.
