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. ** Changed in: ubuntu-ux Status: Triaged => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1357053 Title: [Launcher] home button should reset dash department To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ux/+bug/1357053/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
