This bug was fixed in the package unity8 -
7.90+14.10.20140724.1-0ubuntu1

---------------
unity8 (7.90+14.10.20140724.1-0ubuntu1) utopic; urgency=low

  [ Michael Zanetti ]
  * properly parent launcher items (LP: #1347902)

  [ Michał Sawicz ]
  * Move the PyDev project files to the root, supporting .py scripts
    outside of tests/autopilot. Add Autopilot Run and List launch
    configurations to easily support debugging in Eclipse. Use
    add_unity8_mock macro in the Telephony plugin.
  * Drop FilterGrid and refactor height animations in GenericScopeView.
    Also implement forced category expansion. (LP: #1326470)
  * Move expansion button from section header to category footer. (LP:
    #1261300)
  * Fix expect-sigstop enviroment variable name. (LP: #1346819)
  * Make headerless categories easier Instead of having no header
    category (which is a bit confusing since the LVWPH code was designed
    so that when a category has no header it is because it shares the
    category with the previous one) what we have for headerless
    categories is a header of height 0, this way everything works as it
    should and results in cleaner code in the LVWPH and in
    GenericScopeView
  * Add support for header links.
  * Add dash PageHeader styling.

Bug description:
  Section bullets are hard to discover and confusing, in both unity 7
  and 8.

  Unity7+8: A small set of applications/icons are shown under each
  heading making it look like that heading is already fully expanded.
  Result: The user never thinks to tap on the heading (like "Installed")
  again to see more apps/icons.

  Unity 8: Arrows next to headings are misleading:
  Collapsed:  Heading v
  Expanded:  Heading ^
  Again, the down arrow suggests the list is already fully expanded so users don't think to tap on it again to further expand the list. Many people will expect the more familiar convention:
  Collapsed: Heading >
  Expanded: Heading v

  On a touch image this leads to simple but frustrating problems like
  the user never finding  "System Settings". Because it's non-obvious
  they need to tap on "Applications" which looks like it's already
  expanded.
