Description Florian Müllner 2011-02-10 00:22:04 UTC
Both scroll position and applied filter are kept between "invocations", which does not really make much sense to me.

(I know that bug 638271 calls for the removal of the application filters, but while we still have them around they should behave properly).

app-view: Reset scroll position on switch

When switching to the application view, the view is still scrolled
to the position it had when left previously. Given that it is rather
unlikely that the application the user wants to select is located close
to that position, it appears beneficial to start at a predictable
position, so make sure that the scroll position is always reset to
the top.

app-display: Always select "All" filter on switch

When switching to the app view, it is unlikely that a user is
going to select an application from the same filter list as the
last time the view was used, so reset the view to the "All" filter
on switch.
