After installing a package why not ask if the user wants to install or remove more packages before bringing up the YaST2 Writing the system configuration?
Worse is that Yast Softwaremanagement, also when called separately, just disappears after having done the updates asked. So if you want to do some more, one has to call the program again.
This behaviour is new in the 11.1 series, up till then Yast did indeed ask the user whether he/she wanted to install more packages.
I didn't find a bug about this in bugzilla, so I'm inclined to file one.
But before doing so, I would like to ask developers if this is behaviour by design, and if yes, why?
In fact, we restored the old behavior from 10.0. The popup was just a workaround for awfully slow start up of the SW management module. The issue with the popup is that there are different expectations. Some people play a lot with installing/removing packages, others just want to install the app (fire & forget). Overall, this is not about the popup or closing a window at the end of a transacation, this is about use cases and how to address them. I can imagine that the use case where people want to simply install an appliaction will be covered by PackageKit apps, while YaST will stay as an expert tool and there it would make sense to return to the package selector screen after the transaction.
