Bug / Feature regarding "updates available buttons"

Not sure if this is a bug or a deliberate feature, but it is something that has been bugging me for a while.

Whenever there are updates available you get the “updates available” button displayed on your mint panel, and on your Junior Mint widget. If you click on the button to see the available updates, next time you go back to mint / your widget, the button is now longer displayed, regardless of whether you actually installed the available updates.

Is there a reason why the update button isn’t displayed until you have installed the updates?

This is a feature. Clicking the button indicates that you have been made aware of the update, whether you update or not is entirely up to you. You can always check for updates from the Preferences.

If you chose not to update initially you should be prompted again approximately a week later.
