Public bug reported: This issue occurs when you first login and start to use the dash immediately to search for anything, files, apps etc. Whatever you type it will either not find anything showing a blank dash or randomly find only some elements like files yet not the app. At this point you can press escape to remove the dash and try again. It then takes several tries and several seconds to get the dash to respond properly.
This issue was present in Natty and I thought it would be fixed in Oneiric but it hasn't. It's quite annoying and would definitely improve Unity's stability and usability perception.
