[Bug 1124484] Re: Dash loses keyboard focus during search

 

I cannot reproduce this issue anymore using 14.04+. This most likely was
fixed somewhere else, and the bug does not reflect it. If this is still
an issue for you in 14.04 please mark this bug or let us know!

Title:
  Dash loses keyboard focus during search

Status in Unity:
  Fix Released
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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.
