Public bug reported:

Affects: deskbar-applet (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
On Deskbar 2.13.92, when you type too fast in the input field and press
enter to trigger the default action, the last characters are not taken
into account even though they are all displayed in the input field.

Steps to reproduce:
1) give the focus to the deskbar applet by clicking on it or by pressing Alt+F3
2) type some string and press enter very fast
3) Notice the whole string has been displayed properly in the applet input field
4) Notice that only a part of the string has been taken into account for the default action, e.g. typing "triggered" very fast would look for "trigge" in the dictionary.

My machine is a dual core @ 1.83GHz with 1Gb of RAM. I think I could
decently expect it too be fast enough to process the whole string
properly :-)

This behavior is very confusing and could probably happen rather often
with experienced typers. It should probably be fixed or at least
improved for the release.
