Public bug reported:
Initial position is "dash closed"
1. Pressing (and Releasing) the Super-Key an odd number of times doesn't
necessarily result in having an open dash, but this is expected
2. same as 1. with even number of key strokes doesn't necessarily result in
closed dash necessariy, but it expected
3. Pressing and Releasing and then Pressing without Releasing doesn't
necessarily result in the dash and help open
4. Super-Key and then typing any word doesn't necessarily result in the whole
word being typed into the dash search but whatever other window that was open
last.
In order to reproduce this you should type rather fast. e.g. for 1) do 7
key-strokes in 1-2 seconds.
Why is this a problem:
1.) The user can't depend on the same actions having the same result except if
he waits for the UI reaction. This forces the user to slow down (ping pong slow
down) and to adapt to the performance uf the underlying system.
2.) Non-deterministic behaviour lets the user tend to retry which may result in
an "explosive" UI response.
