Updates via GUI - no indicator

On the 4.0 machine, if I watch carefully, the 'Downloading - please wait' window appears but it self clears very quickly (blink and you'd miss it).
This is the case even when there is a significant download e.g. a new version of Firefox.
I've not seen an 'installing' window and nothing appears to be happening until the 'updates completed successfully' window pops up.

Yup. That's it.

Me Too! 

I don't have time to get into this topic on any technical level, but I was moved to post here as I was somewhat taken aback at the smhardesty response to Derek's reasonable enquiry. I had the same issue on moving from 3.8 to 4.0, on 2 laptops, ie the updates window disappeared immediately after updating started. I'm not getting any younger and I could be liable to forget it's updating and power down for the night!

It's not a case of asking for an extra feature on LL - it clearly was there before 4.x.  And I do recall mention of it on the release announcement thread for 4.0, so it was missed by at least one person at that time.

Anyway, a small relatively point on a wonderful OS, and a normally very polite and non-judgemental forum.

Thanks Jerry and the team!
