Comment (by samuelsidler):

 I just ran through the themes install screen a bit. Here's some thoughts:

 * Bug: If you click around on the tabs (featured, popular, latest) a bunch
 and end on "featured" but immediately scroll down fast, it'll show you a
 different tab. I can get it to show me the contents of the "popular" tab
 this way, quite easily.
 * Bug: The max is always 36. No matter what, we max out at 36. Are there
 only 36 single column themes in the directory?
 * Feature Filter: The entire behavior of the feature filter is strange.
 What is it filtering, everything or the currently selected tab? Is it
 actively filtering or do I need to close it somehow? If I close it by
 clicking on it again (non-obvious), what am I viewing: the tab that's
 selected or the filtered content? (Note: This probably works fine on large
 screens, but not on small, 13 inch ones.)
 * If the feature filter is open and you search for something, what's the
 expected behavior? Right now, the search term takes over. Can you use the
 feature filter in conjunction with search? *Should* you be able to?

 A few more thoughts: The auto-updating number is weird *because* it
 updates, not in spite of it. I'd prefer if the tabs started the section
 and underneath it said something along the lines of "7 featured themes
 found" underneath the white tab bar. You could then use that same text to
 show the "35 themes found tagged with Brown and One Column" for when the
 feature filter wasn't showing.

 I also tend to think the Feature Filter should be made a tab and renamed
 to something along the lines of "Filter All Themes" since it's not
 filtering the currently-selected tab. That'd take care of some of the
 issues mentioned above, but leave others.
