I am also annoyed by that behaviour, for the same reason as anybody
else: you mostly want to install some pkgs, but while busy firing up
yast, and do the things nessesary to add the pkgs, 'one by one' in the
search bar, choose each version or repo seperately,
If not written down what has to be entered, and crossed out what is
entered, you definately miss one or two... ;(
And indeed, instead of patiently waiting until i, the user, decides, to
stop or continue, the window closes.
I allways was 'boss' of the pkgmngmnt.
Now the pkgmngr is!
It just does not feel right, and is time robbing, to repat all the steps
again.
In the early days, the user was king....
But those days are long gone.... unfortunately.. ;)
