[Bug 832265] [NEW] [GTK3] Down key doesn't work as expected in list view

 

Public bug reported:

software-center-gtk3 trunk r2172, Ubuntu Ocelot

1. Launch USC.
2. Press Tab twice to navigate to "Accessories", and press Enter.
3. Press Down.

What happens: The order of all the items changes (because the sort menu
was focused).

What should happen: The first item is selected.

But, if we do that, then we also need to solve two other problems:
* how to avoid selecting an item in the list by default (because that's ugly)
* how to make the sort menu easily keyboard-accessible.

So, I don't know yet how this should work.
