Public bug reported:
Certain keystrokes can cause the dash to lose keyboard focus. This is
100% reproducible for me, and I believe it's been around since 12.10 (if
not earlier).
To reproduce:
1) Hit Super to open the dash
2) In the dash, type a string such as 'sound'
3) Press the down arrow once. Notice the "Applications" section is selected
4) Press Escape. The search string is cleared
5) Type another search string in the dash
Expected results:
When you start typing in step 5, your keystrokes are entered into the dash as a
search string
Actual results:
When you start typing in step 5, nothing happens. Despite the blinking cursor
in the dash search box, the search box does not have keyboard focus. The arrow
keys have no effect (they do not return focus to the search box). Pressing
'Escape' does not close the dash as it should. You have to close the dash (e.g.
via the super key) and reopen it in order to resume your search.
This is always reproducible on my system when the search string from step 2 is
an application ('sound', 'display', 'firefox', etc). It's also reproducible
when the search returns a document. If the search string is random characters
that don't return any results, the dash does not lose keyboard focus.
