Additionally Installed scopes disappear on reboot

[Alan Pope 🍺🐧🐱 🦄]

On krillin #184 ubuntu-touch/ubuntu-rtm/14.09-proposed

Steps to reproduce.

1. Visit store
2. Install many scopes, examples:- Cinema, Discerning Duck, GMail Scope, Mixcloud Scope, Nearby, Places, RSS Feeds, Stellar, Swiss Public Transport Information, Your Shot
(I installed all of them to review them for a contest)
3. Favorite all of them so you can easily switch between them
Note they all work
4. Reboot phone

Result

All the above installed scopes all disappear from the scopes overview screen and are no longer favorited.

Expected result

Scopes still show up and are favorited as they were before reboot

mako # 154 ubuntu-touch/ubuntu-rtm/14.09-proposed
doesn't seem to show this same issue. altho admittedly only installed/favorited 3 of the scopes, will retry with full list

[kevin gunn (kgunn72)]

hmmm....so, confirmed on krillin #184 ubuntu-touch/ubuntu-rtm/14.09-proposed
and confirmed on mako # 154 ubuntu-touch/ubuntu-rtm/14.09-proposed

went ham on it, added a bunch of scopes...so must be a breakover number somewhere

[kevin gunn (kgunn72)]

also, previously installed scopes appear as "installed" in the app store view

[kevin gunn (kgunn72)]

ok, so once this bug occurs, you can uninstall/reinstall a scope - and it'll automatically show up as favorited.
you can try this with just 1 scope and after reboot it will again re-disappear from installed list and not show up as favorited.
seems relate to number of installed scopes....more fiddling

[Michał Sawicz (saviq)]

This is most probably a problem in unity-scopes-shell, then, that's storing the favourites list and then exposes them to the dash.

[kevin gunn (kgunn72)]

ok...so uninstalled all the "not seen" but installed scopes except for like 2....did a reinstall on one of those, showed up in favorites, reboot & disappeared. so it seems once you pass the threshold, uninstalling doesn't help recover

Marking it as duplicate, I've installed a bunch of the scopes listed by Alan (but not all of them), and again as in the original bug report ssbscope is causing problem.
