Bug Description
I have fresh installed Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop 32-bit. After each install for years one of the first thing I do is uninstall some of the applications that I don't need to preserve some downloading/
I opened Ubuntu Software, click on Installed tab and now the problem appears. Every two seconds whole screen gets to gray and refreshing appears which takes 2 seconds. This loops endlessly. It is very frustrating, because Ubuntu Software is unusable in my case.
I have asked the question on forum: http://
I did:
sudo apt install gnome-software
sudo apt purge gnome-software
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt autoclean
sudo apt install gnome-software
Started Ubuntu Software and the problem remains the same.
P.S. New problem appeared now Ubuntu Software icon on Launcher is not the same (orange color), but it has changed (white color). But this is not huge problem, just annoyance.

And one more thing I forgot to write. Don't know if this is related or is separate problem. I have also noticed that despite I close down Ubuntu Software center GUI "gnome-software" process is still occupying 50% of CPU endlessly. In top it gets 50%, then gets lower to 20%, to 0% and after two three seconds it gets back to 50 sometimes 60%.
This is another pain because on my laptop battery is eaten up.
