[Bug 1357053] Re: [Launcher] home button should reset dash department

 

I agree that the department should reset to the root department when
navigating back to the Apps scope; both in the interest of utility as
well as in order to be consistent with how we handle search results
(which are cleared when navigating away from a scope).

Interestingly, departments are currently not cleared for Apps (as well
as other Scopes) when navigating away/too a Scope. However, if a user
selects a department and then conducts a search, navigating away/too the
scope clears the search AND resets the department (tested in the Amazon
and Ebay Scopes). Additionally, opening the department drop-down shows
the previously selected department as still being applied.

I would propose that Apps is a special case where we should clear
searches and reset departments (including within the department drop-
dow) when a user navigates away from the scope.

All other scopes should preserve both the department and (where
relevant) filters, but clear searches which are easily accessible by
beginning a new search and selecting from the recent search list. I will
raise a new bug for this.

  [Launcher] home button should reset dash department

Status in Ubuntu UX bugs:
  Fix Committed
Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I've seen people filtering the dash by department and then trying to
  use the home button in the launcher to get back to the "starting
  position". Should the Launcher's home button clear any department
  selection?
