After further investigation, I have found there is a race condition somewhere, which results in stale information about the dash with regards to accessibility used by the screen reader. I am able to trigger a refresh of the information after using some of the screen reader's review features, and when doing so, I can navigate the results on the dash without issue.
My investigation continues. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.
