Title:
  Category Headers (e.g., "Recent") don't indicate when they have
  keyboard-focus in the Dash

Status in unity-2d package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  When Category Headers (e.g., "Applications" or "Files & Folders" or
  "Recent") do not contain a "see # more results" line next to them,
  they give no indication to the user when they receive keyboard-focus.
  All other items in the dash gain a soft highlight when they receive
  keyboard-focus. This soft-highlight helps communicate to the user
  where the keyboard-focus resides.

  It might be a good idea to give some sort of feedback to the user when
  a Category Header is the item that has keyboard focus. As shown in the
  attached screenshot, despite the Category Header "Files & Folders"
  having keyboard focus, no indication of this fact is shown to the
  user.

  Knowing where the keyboard-focus resides in the Dash is helpful
  because it allows users to know where they are "located" in the Dash.
  I often lose my place in the Dash because the focus lands on a
  Category Header that doesn't contain a "see # more results" line. I am
  left trying to figure out where my cursor/keyboard-focus went. Tapping
  the left and/or right arrow-keys does nothing. and if I don't know
  where to look, sometimes even tapping the up & down arrow-keys won't
  catch my attention because I am looking at a different section of the
  Dash.

  Perhaps when a Category Header receives keyboard-focus it could gain
  the soft-highlight and/or be underlined or something?
