Bug Description
I've seen people filtering the dash by department and then trying to use the home button in the launcher to get back to the "starting position". Should the Launcher's home button clear any department selection?

I agree that the department should reset to the root department when navigating back to the Apps scope; both in the interest of utility as well as in order to be consistent with how we handle search results (which are cleared when navigating away from a scope).
Interestingly, departments are currently not cleared for Apps (as well as other Scopes) when navigating away/too a Scope. However, if a user selects a department and then conducts a search, navigating away/too the scope clears the search AND resets the department (tested in the Amazon and Ebay Scopes). Additionally, opening the department drop-down shows the previously selected department as still being applied.
I would propose that Apps is a special case where we should clear searches and reset departments (including within the department drop-dow) when a user navigates away from the scope.
All other scopes should preserve both the department and (where relevant) filters, but clear searches which are easily accessible by beginning a new search and selecting from the recent search list. I will raise a new bug for this.
