Yes, the issue is still present in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) version. Updated instructions to reproduce the issue are given below.
How to reproduce: 1. Go to Applications -> Add Remove... 2. Click on any of the Applications shown in top-right panels with the mouse(click away from the check-box. Just select the application to see its details and make sure it is highlighted and not to tick-mark its checkbox). 3. Now press space bar on the keyboard and wait for a while without giving any input(keyboard or mouse). The check-box will not be shown to have tick-mark. 4. Now press the down arrow key. The application that was highlighted earlier will now have its checkbox showing the tick-mark. Same thing happens when de-selecting a selected application. I can post a small screencast to demonstrate more clearly if it is needed. ** Summary changed: - Pressing space over a firefox extension doesn't select it immediately + Pressing space over a application in Add/Remove Applications doesn't select it immediately ** Description changed: - Binary package hint: firefox + Binary package hint: Add/Remove Applications - When trying to select an extension from the default list of Firefox - extensions that come with Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon, the item is not shown to - be selected immediately.

The checkbox is however shown selected after any other input operation, like moving to the next item using down arrow key. How to reproduce: Start Firefox web browser Go to Tools -> Add-ons and click on "Get Ubuntu Addons" Select one of the items from the opened "Install/Remove Extensions" window (using mouse or keyboard) Press space trying to select the currently highlighted item. Some visual response can be observed but the checkbox is not selected. Move to another item by pressing down arrow key on the keyboard or move the mouse just a little bit. The item selected in previous step is now show as selected using the check mark. The same problem exists when de-selecting an already selected extension using the keyboard. New users may get confused by this kind of behaviour. This surprising behaviour does not present itself when browsing the interface using the mouse. ** Description changed: Binary package hint: Add/Remove Applications - [This information is outdated, see <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-app-install/+bug/158601/comments/3";>comment #3 below</a> + [This information is outdated, see comment #3 below] When trying to select an extension from the default list of Firefox extensions that come with Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon, the item is not shown to be selected immediately.
