Title:
Dash misses some characters when typing fast
Status in Unity:
Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
PC: P4 2,2 GHz
1500 MB RAM
When pressing SUPER on my old P4 and start typing the Dash misses
sometimes the first 1-2 characters I entered. Okay, my test system is
old but using the HUD never leads to lost characters.
Knowing that the Dash misses sometimes the first characters leads me
to wait for the Dash to open up completely before I start usually to
type my search terms.
I would like that the Dash catches any key pressed after the user
activates the Dash by pressing SUPER - even when the Dash is not
entirely visible. This would make the Dash feel snappier.
Remember not everyone has a fast computer out there (Netbooks, old
PCs...)

Tried to open the Dash by pressing SUPER and wrote fast - but not super fast - 'update'.
