[Bug 899781] [NEW] Dash does not always recognize input

[bwat47]

Public bug reported:

I've been having some issues with the dash not recognizing input when I
quickly hit <super>, start typing, and hit enter. If I do it too quickly
the dash will show up but nothing I typed gets inputted into the dash
search. This is very annoying, and it not a problem I have with any
other launchers (i.e. gnome-shell activity view, synapse, gnome-do
ect...). I have to wait 1-2 seconds after the dash is opened for it to
take my input.

Sometimes I also have a similar but slightly different issue. Once
again, if I very quickly hit <super> start typing and hit enter it will
not open the correct program, but instead a random nautilus window. For
example if I quickly open the dash, type "clem" and hit enter nautilus
pops up. If I open the dash, wait 1-2 seconds, type "clem" and hit enter
clementine opens as expected.

My laptop has decent specs (2.53 GHz i5 460m, 4gb ddr3, 640gb hdd, intel
ironlake graphics). I am using ubuntu 11.10 64 bit and using unity 3d.
