How the glitch looks like

Description of problem:
If GNOME Software is closed on any other page than the main page and then started again, the page that was previously opened is shown instead of the main page. However, clicking the arrow in the left corner of the GS window to get back to the main page does not seem to work anymore at this point and there is no other way to exit the current page than killing the gnome-software process. This happens on the latest GS 3.30.2 on Fedora Silverblue 29, however it doesn't happen on older GS 3.28 on regular Fedora 28.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-software-3.30.2-1.fc29.x86_64

How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
See the attached video.

Actual results:
Clicking the "Back" button does nothing.

Expected results:
Clicking the "Back" button shows the previous page.

Additional info:
This was already fixed in upstream, see this commit: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/commit/b9a39ee3705a47ab3da92a6cf4241d53c202a87d
Comment 1 Kalev Lember 2018-10-10 12:01:40 UTC 
Proposing as a F29 FE so that we can avoid an embarrassing bug in Workstation default install where gnome-software gets stuck in a way that's difficult to get out of (reboot or killing gnome-software from command line).
Comment 2 Adam Williamson 2018-10-10 15:06:52 UTC 
There's even an argument for blocker here (under the 'basic functionality' criterion), but I'm definitely +1 FE.
Comment 3 Mohan Boddu 2018-10-10 15:09:26 UTC 
I agree with Adam Williamson here, it can be considered as a blocker as well.

But for now +1 FE.
Comment 4 Kamil Páral 2018-10-12 14:13:04 UTC 
+1 FE, marking as accepted. Also proposing as a blocker.
Comment 5 Kalev Lember 2018-10-12 14:59:02 UTC 
I'll do an upstream bug fix release on Monday and a Fedora build then as well, there's another embarrassing bug I'd like to get fixed while we're respinning gnome-software.
Comment 6 Geoffrey Marr 2018-10-15 19:18:28 UTC 
Discussed during the 2018-10-15 blocker review meeting: [1]

The decision to classify this bug as an "AcceptedBlocker" was made as it violates the following criteria:

"All applications that can be launched using the standard graphical mechanism of a release-blocking desktop after a default installation of that desktop must start successfully and withstand a basic functionality test."
