As Albert says, it's typing a search query that resets department and filters. This works as designed, i.e. departments and filters are only shown in surfacing/browsing mode and disappear as soon as user enters a search query.
So, if I undestand it right, the problem to be addressed is to special- case Apps, so that navigating to/from Apps resets departments and filters in Apps, correct? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1429214 Title: [Scopes] Departments not behaving consistently when navigating too/from a Scope Status in Ubuntu UX bugs: Triaged Status in unity-scopes-shell package in Ubuntu: New Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: 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 active/applied. Recommendation: Apps Scope 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).
