Title:
  HUD's item which is being mouse-hovered is selected, making fast
  typing and clicking Enter unsafe

Status in Unity:
  Fix Released
Status in Unity 6.0 series:
  Won't Fix
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When the HUD is invoked, no items appear on the list, as usual. When
  the user begins to type, a list of matches comes up, but if the mouse
  cursor is over the area where a item appears, that item will be
  selected, so, if the user types Enter (or Return) to select the first
  item on the list (as we usually do when we use the HUD for speed), the
  item being hovered is selected instead of the first item on the list.

  This is specially annoying in small screens. I'm on a netbook and the
  HUD takes the upper half of the screen when it's showing five results,
  making it 50% likely for this undesired behaviour to happen.

  Suggestion: HUD should only select an item on the list by mouse-
  hovering if the mouse moves AFTER the list appears.
