Bug Description

I am following up on Bug #1236991 where I was helped greatly. Thank you again.

Currently, you can disable the scopes you do not use as follows:

1. Open the Application Scope (Super+A).
2. Scroll down to Dash plugins.
3. Select "See x more results"
4. Click on the Scope you want to disable.
5. Click "Disable".

Great!

That said:

 * Expected: Colour of scope icon changes from white to some other colour (representing disabled)
 * Actual: No colour change

This is problematic because it's hard to figure out which scopes I am using and which I am not. Maybe, in a few weeks I will change my mind on a certain scope. I would be greatly helped if I could tell the on/off difference at a quick glance.

Thank you for your consideration.

Wow, this is not my best day. The colour does indeed change (light gray, and sorted)

That said, the changes to light gray aren't immediate? For example, as I type I am still waiting on certain plugins (Facebook, Open Clipart) to toggle light gray like the others. I'm not sure what is going on.

Regards,

Hi Dac,

I thought at some point it did change the color, but I see the behavior you're describing. To test this a bit further, I rebooted and now notice the disabled scope is grayed out in the list, but it should not take a reboot for this happen.

Since this is a backend issue, I'm going to reassign this bug to libunity and hopefully someone on that team will take a look.

Thanks for reporting this!

affects: unity → libunity

Since toggling the scope changes its position in the result set, we don't want to do immediate change as that would break navigation in the previews. A better solution has to be devised.
