On first run, "Applications" is collapsed for no reason at all

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

Ubuntu Trusty r188, r303

1. Flash the phone and start it up.
2. Complete or skip the tutorial.
3. Tap "My apps".

What you see:
2. An "Apps" screen with six apps followed by half a screenful of empty space. https://launchpadlibrarian.net/174219038/ubuntu-touch-apps.jpg
3. Many more applications.

What you should see:
2. All apps visible by default, since there's nothing else to go in that space.

It might make sense for "My apps" to be a section that has a collapsed state, though I doubt it.

It might even make sense for the collapsed state still to show six apps, though that's even less likely. (Hardly collapsed, then, is it?)

But it does not make any sense for "My apps" to be in a collapsed state by default, when that collapsed state isn't making room for anything at all.

The current expand/collapse behaviour is going away in favour of see more / see less at the bottom of a category, which will allow paging through the results. Initial state is still limited to 2 rows of items maximum according to the spec.

Adding ubuntu-ux for guidance.

[Michał Sawicz (saviq)]

Ah and it seems you're talking about the Home scope, which is going away entirely in new scopes (due to land this coming week).

[Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt)]

Reproduced in r303, reopening. Please, don't mark a bug as Invalid merely because the steps to reproduce change slightly. That doesn't make Ubuntu any better.

[Michał Sawicz (saviq)]

Reopening the ubuntu-ux task, as that's what's driving changes in unity8 anyway.

The spec for this is now fixed: https://sites.google.com/a/canonical.com/unity8dash/toolkit/9-categories/layouts

The categories should not have a collapsed state
