Departments break if going to a subdepartment of Store

[Paweł Stołowski]

Departments get confused / break when going from a subdepartment of Apps (click scope) to same subdepartment of Store via "Get more apps like this" orange Store button.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Open Apps.
2) Go to Games department
3) Click the orange 'Ubuntu store' icon at the bottom (its category title should say "Get more apps like this from the Store").
4) You should be presented with the 'Top Games' category of the store, and department tree has only "All" and "Games" subdepartment. It's not possible to navigate to the root of the store from it, as UI thinks "All" is the current department. Clicking "Games" department, and then "All" restores the correct departments menu.

lip 29 18:25<mhr3> tsdgeos, the problem is that a cannedquery can point to a specific department
lip 29 18:25<mhr3> tsdgeos, so it will either start in the middle of a tree, or even point to a leaf
lip 29 18:26<tsdgeos> that's not what we agreed when it was implemented
lip 29 18:26<tsdgeos> so it's not implemented like that

I've just re-checked this bug, and it does affect store after all, but symptoms are slightly different, so I've updated the description.

[Albert Astals Cid (aacid)]

According to Pawel we get

        received departments:
department id=, name=All, has_children=1
        subdepartments:
                department id=accessories, name=Utilities, has_children=0

So yeah, no siblings since the UI is told there's no siblings.

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

[Paweł Stołowski (stolowski)]

This is potentially non trivial to fix (the proper fix would probably involve changes to API which we cannot afford at this point or involve all layers of the stack). I need to dig into it to understand better what it takes to fix or workaround this.
