Title:
  unity dash results not navigate-able with neo2 kbd layout

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Unity dash search results can be navigated using the arrow-keys.

  The german 'neo2' keyboard layout comes with an additional method to
  enter the arrow-keys using 'AltGr+{i,a,e,l}'. This allows to use the
  arrow-keys without having to leave the home row.

  However, if one tries to use this method to navigate the unity dash
  results, the first highlighted entry will flicker and one is not able
  to change the currently selected entry.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Select 'German (Neo 2)' as _only_ keyboard layout in gnome (workaround for Bug #879838)
  2. Verify that arrow-keys can be entered using 'AltGr+{i,a,e,l}' (e.g. navigating in gedit)
  3. press windows-key to show dash, enter some word to search for
  4. Try to navigate to the first search result pressing 'AltGr+a' twice
      -> expected behavior: first search entry is highlighted
      -> actual behavior: first entry gets selected, but focus is immediately switched back to    the input field
