Title:
  Spurious navigation history entry added when clearing a search

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

Bug description:
  (This is the sequel to bug 844068.)

  Ubuntu Software Center 4.1.23.3, Ubuntu 11.10 beta 1

  1. Navigate to "Games" > "Board Games".
  2. Do a search, e.g. "chess".
  3. Click the clear button in the search field.
  4. Click Back.
  5. Click Back again.
  6. Click Back again.

  What happens: USC navigates to
  3. "Board Games"
  4. search results for "chess"
  5. "Board Games" (wot, again?)
  6. "Games"

  What should happen: USC navigates to
  3. "Board Games"
  4. "Games"
  5. the home screen
  6. Back is insensitive.

  So it looks like clearing the search field is adding an extra entry to
  the navigation history and navigating forward to it, when it should be
  just navigating back. I think it would even be okay for it to behave
  purely like Back, leaving Forward sensitive to redo the search.
