[Bug 1300304] Re: [Dash] Scope loses context when you go back from preview

 

** Description changed:

  On mako #269
  In applications scope, scroll down and expand up the section for "Available" or "My Apps".
  
- For "Available" spot a few apps to install. Pick one to get to the preview. Click "Install". 
- For "My Apps" spot a few apps to de-install. Pick one (long press) to get the preview. Click "Uninstall". 
+ For "Available" spot a few apps to install. Pick one to get to the preview. Click "Install".
+ For "My Apps" spot a few apps to de-install. Pick one (long press) to get the preview. Click "Uninstall".
  
  Once install/uninstall is done, press the back button at the top.
  
  Note that in both cases you get returned to where you were in the scope
  then the scope immediately flips up to the top.
+ 
+ -------
+ Solution
+ 
+ By default, when the user goes back from a preview, they are returned to
+ the surfacing mode in the same place. However if those results are now
+ invalid (due to action on the preview), the scope is reloaded.
+ 
+ This problem is now mitigated by:
+ - Separating out installed apps and available apps into two scopes (installed plus store)
+ - in this particular use case, we also plan to provide a shortcut to uninstalling using a contextual menu on long press.

  Solution

  By default, when the user goes back from a preview, they are returned
  to the surfacing mode in the same place. However if those results are
  now invalid (due to action on the preview), the scope is reloaded.

  This problem is now mitigated by:
  - Separating out installed apps and available apps into two scopes (installed plus store)
  - in this particular use case, we also plan to provide a shortcut to uninstalling using a contextual menu on long press.
