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

Carousel is not supposed to be shown with less than some items on screen. The new scope implementation need to take this into account

[Michał Karnicki (karni)]

Carousel requires at least 5 items minimum, so it should still work in this case (new scopes does take this into consideration). I wonder if the limit should be different on tablet due to screen width.

Indeed it should. A carousel that doesn't span the whole width of the
device stops being a carousel... CardTool should probably be used to
calculate how many items are the minimum.

Has this been fixed, Cimi?

[Michał Sawicz (saviq)]

Linked the branch fixing this, we'll not merge it for MWC, though, as it's not an issue in any of the main screens any more.

mark as won't fix since it's been quiet so long.
