NIS 2013 Bug: Pinning Advanced View can be done in LiveUpdate and Scan Now Screen

Note: This issue is first seen in beta build 20.1.0.18 and 20.1.0.24 and still not fixed on build 20.1.1.2. This was also reported in beta test.

 

Issue: The LiveUpdate and Scan Now screens can pin/unpin the advanced view the default.

 

What I expected:

No such option(the ability to pin/unpin the advanced view) should be available on LiveUpdate and Scan Now Screens in the Main UI Window because it is not related on what should it do.

 

What is in the current build:

Visually, you cannot see such icon that shows the pinning and unpinning of the Advance View as default, but if you hover the location of it, which is under the back icon in the left side of the window, a tooltip will appear either displaying "Advanced View is pinned" (if you really pinned the advanced view in the advanced view screen) or "Advanced View is not pinned" (if you did not pinned the Advanced View as default.). If you click on that "spot" it will really either pin or unpin the advanced view as default.

 

Steps in reproducing the problem:

1.) Launch the Main UI of NIS 2013.

2.) Click either Scan Now button or LiveUpdate button in the initial view or click either the Scan Now button or LiveUpdate button in the Manage, Online Family, Mobile, Safe Web screens(left side of it) or click the Scan Now (under Computer Protection) in the Advanced View.

3.) Now you can see in the left side of either LiveUpdate Screen or Scan Now Screen in the main UI that there is a small rectangular area which is painted by your system status (either be green for secure, orange for attention, yellow for fixing, or red for at risk) and you can only see the back button in there.

4.) Hover under the back button and there in that area or spot, you can unpin or pin the advanced view.

 

Limitations:

The LiveUpdate and Scan Now screens are not referring to either the LiveUpdate Window, the Quick, Full System or Custom Scan window but this is referring to the "launching point.

I did not tested this issue on Norton AntiVirus and Norton 360 2013.
