Scope isn't populated, virtually no apps can successfully open

[Doug McMahon]

scope just shows 'Manage', nothing else
No gnome apps will open, either close immediately or windows shows blue spinning 'cursor' forever
Only webbrowser, terminal & libreoffice apps open

error for all apps would be like in screenshot (files
scope is also shown, this is how it opens,i.e. empty, nothing to do..

[Michał Sawicz (saviq)]

The empty scope bug is bug #1668700 - we've deprecated the click scope since it's replaced by the left-hand side "app drawer".

As for launching apps, that'd be bug #1675364.
