Steps to reproduce: 1. Wait until updates are available 2. Click on the system tray icon and click "Update" 3. Wait a few seconds 4. Attempt to click the "Installed" and/or "Settings" listings in the left-hand menu. This is an intermittent problem; it showed up for me for several times in a row, then disappeared. :/
Another issue which I suppose is related is that when this bug appears, the Update All button is grayed out (unclickable).
This is a bit weird and cannot reproduce. Can you try running it from the terminal and see if there's anything relevant going on? You can run it similarly to how the plasmoid does it by calling: plasma-discover --mode update Thanks!

I could consistently reproduce the problem by: 1. Renaming ~/.cache/discover 2. Running plasma-discover --mode update, as you suggested 3. A problem opposite of this bug appears: after you enter the "settings" or "installed" sections, it is impossible to return to "Updates" (though the menu entry remains highlighted---see screenshot) 4. Close Discover and reopen with plasma-discover --mode update 5. The bug appears. I've also attached the console output from a run where the initial bug appeared.
Git commit e28b98bb945b1067f64632159c91c2b0113b9c8d by Aleix Pol. Committed on 10/08/2017 at 17:25. Pushed by apol into branch 'Plasma/5.10'. Don't disable the updates action when there are no updates It's perfectly safe to go in there, it will just show a page saing "no updates". Should make this UI a bit more predictable.

Hi Matthew, Would you be able to check if this change fixes your issue? If it doesn't please reopen. If so, also a video reproducing the issue would really help.
Created attachment 107201 [details] Video showcasing issue I compiled the Plasma/5.10 branch and recorded this video showing the issue. Notice that the Update All button is grayed-out at 00:14.
Super odd. I don't have the issue where "Update All" gets grayed out (we call it disabled ;) ). I'll look into that tomorrow.

Remove the navigationEnabled concept We don't need it anymore now that the Updates page can be opened at any time. This fixes some quirks found in the mentioned bug report.

This won't fix the grayed "Update All" button, if it's a notable problem please report it and maybe there's something we can do about it, although it seems like a distro thing...
I can usually work around the disabled Update button by browsing the "Applications" section and returning to "Updates."
