Title:
  Mouse focus takes precedence over default focus when opening dash

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  If the mouse cursor is located in the area where the dash appears when
  it is opened, and happens to highlight an app/document/etc., this
  mouse-highlighted action will be performed when pressing enter, rather
  than the default action (say, opening the most recent app).

  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Place mouse cursor in a location where it will highlight something in the dash other than the default action
  2. Press keystroke to open dash (default: win-key)
  3. Press enter

  Expected results:
  The default action is carried out (opening the most recent app or the first app/document/etc. matching a previous search)

  Actual results:
  The action highlighted by the mouse cursor is carried out.

  Ideally, the mouse cursor should not highlight anything in the dash,
  until the user moves the mouse. The current behaviour is entirely
  counter-intuitive, especially if there is a previous search result (in
  which case the search text is highlighted, further increasing
  confusion, see also Bug #817436 which may or may nor be related).
