Bug Description
It seems that some applications have their QML cache wiped by QtMir when they are stopped with ubuntu-app-stop from the command line. So far this seems to include Camera, Gallery and most (but not all) web-apps. Closing the app via the UI maintains the cache.
Steps to reproduce (all from the devices UI or shell):
1.) Open Camera from the Dash/Launcher
2.) ls ~/.cache/QML/Apps
- Confirm that the Camera app triplet is listed and copy it to the clipboard
3.) ubuntu-app-stop <app triplet from step 2>
4.) ls ~/.cache/QML/Apps
Expected result:
Directory for camera is listed
Actual result:
Directory for camera is not listed. grep'ing ~/.cache/
Camera can be replaced with Gallery or a web-app such as Amazon or Cinco Dias (although Twitter which is also a web-app isn't affected apparently)
