After debugging the plugin I couldn't find anything wrong with it; I think it's actually the problem of unity8 - the following snippet of Dash.qml ( the caluse for favorite scope) looks like the culprit:
if (scopeIndex >= 0) { // Is a favorite one setCurrentScope(scopeId, false, false); dashContentCache.scheduleUpdate(); showDashFromPos(pos, size); hide(); } else { // Is not a favorite one, activate and get openScope scope.activate(result); } ** Also affects: unity8 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: unity-scopes-shell (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid ** Changed in: unity-scopes-shell (Ubuntu) Assignee: Pawel Stolowski (stolowski) => (unassigned) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1386698 Title: Canned queries to favorited scopes don't preserve search query string To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-scopes-shell/+bug/1386698/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
