Installed Applications is blank after doing a search

happens regardless of mir or surface flinger

I actually expect this to be a unity8 bug.

Michal, can you please try and confirm that the results are, in fact, there, just that the UI does not pick them up?

That's hard to confirm without actual steps to reproduce, but unity will display the expander only if there are >6 results in the model, so it's more than likely that the backend model is fine.

What happens when you get this bug and try to expand the category?

Right, it expands empty, so it's like it's just invisible indeed.

My way to repro:
 * Start the shell
 * Switch to the apps scope
 * Expand the first category
 * Search for abc (or something else that empties fully the results)
 * Press the [x] to clear the search text

Fix committed into lp:unity8 at revision 346, scheduled for release in unity8, milestone ubuntu-13.09

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