Just looking back at this. This one should be fixed now in the following
version (and later) of Software Center in Quantal. Steve, please let me
know if you can still reproduce this (I can't seem to). And thanks!!

Title:
SW Center UI stuck on spinning wheel after cancelling sign-in on a
reinstall previous purchases
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Several events led me to a failed installation in the software center
(bug 1000262 has some details). SW center was showing the screen for
the app I tried to purchase/install (Command & Conquer Tiberium
Alliances). From that screen I clicked "Reinstall Previous Purchases"
from the FIle menu. I was presented with a screen asking me to login
to Launchpad. I chose cancel instead of logging in to LP.
Expected results:
I expected to see either the screen I was looking at (the app I was looking
at previously) or the home page of SW center
Actual results:
The main SW center UI was cleared out, no longer showing the screen for my
app. Instead it's a blank, grey panel with the large spinning 'wait' cursor
(see attached screenshot). It's stuck in this state, and has been for a couple
minutes. The app clearly isn't going to do anything on its own, despite the
wait cursor.
To get SW center out of this state I clicked the "Installed" button then the
"All Software" button. The UI is now back to normal. The UI was never blocked,
it just wasn't doing anything.
