[Scopes] Scope author should be able to set the number of collapsed results to show

[Chris Wayne]

In a scope with horizontal card layouts, you can only show up to 2 results by default. If the scope only has 1 category, that means most of the vertical space is blank, and looks quite empty. There should either be a way to define how many rows to show, or the toolkit should show as many as will fill up the veritcal space

[Victor Tuson Palau (vtuson)]

propose that "collapsed-rows " accepts any number not just 1 or 2

[Michał Sawicz (saviq)]

Relevant spec that would need to change:

[Mike Nagle (mikenagle)]

I agree. The scope author should be able to pick how many rows to display. On a screen with only a single category, we shouldn't have a collapsed state at all. I will update the spec accordingly.

[Mike Nagle (mikenagle)]

Just to say I have updated the spec now at https://sites.google.com/a/canonical.com/unity8dash/toolkit/9-categories/layouts

Example:
"Author defined. If screen only has a single category, it should not have a collapsed state. Recommend 2 rows on screens with multiple categories"

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

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.
