Close Dash Page header "extra" panel when selecting an option on the dash primary filter

This is how the panel always has worked, if you go to a scope that has departments instead of a primary filter, you'll see it behaves the same way.

If you disagree with this behaviour please ask design (probably Patricia) about it.

Hi Albert,

I set this to New again in unity8 because I am not 100% sure you are correct.

For example the News Scope has departments. When you select a department, the department selection gui disappears and the new department results display. But not in the case of the option filter as primary nav filter. In this case, when you select a different filter option, the filter selection overlay does not disappear. So the user has no option to tap in the result area, and this almost always takes them to a result preview.

Your bug says "dismissing primary nav filter shows a preview" and i say "dismissing a open deparment filter shows a preview too", and i am right, that's why i closed the bug.

Now I understand that when using departments selecting a department closes the list. That is something we can't do for primary fitler since there's no "activate this" on primary filters, they can be ranges, multi selection, etc. that don't have a press on screen that can be identified as "i'm done".

But in my opinion that's a design problem with having filters there instead of on the proper place for filters, so you'll have to involve people from design so that they find a way around it.

As it stands i disagree this is a bug in the implementation of dismissing the panel when there is a primary navigation filters since it behaves the same way dismissing works when there's no primary navigation filter.

As discussed in our hangout, my understanding (about which I am not 100% certain) is that only an option selector filter set to single select can be the primary navigation. So, when the user selects a new option, the widget & overlay should disappear (just as it does with departments).

This bug was fixed in the package unity8 - 8.12+16.10.20160527-0ubuntu1
