As described in bug 676453, the Launcher icon is supposed to fill up as the installation completes. This would make clear that the app is not launchable yet.
Even if it didn't, launching Ubuntu Software Center to its screen for the app would not be useful in this case. There's nothing useful to do there in this situation. ** Changed in: ayatana-design Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: unity Status: Incomplete => Invalid ** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid ** No longer affects: ayatana-design ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid ** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/964580 Title: Icons of currently installing applications should go to Software Center installation screen when selected in the launcher Status in Unity: Invalid Status in software-center package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in unity package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: A new behaviour of Unity 5.8 is to animatedly move the icon of an application being installed in the Software Center to the dash. This is quite a good idea but it falls apart when clicking on said icon doesn't actually do anything during installation. While installing, it should go to the installation progress page of the Software Center. When the installation is complete, it should launch the application instead.
