Public bug reported:
When the HUD is invoked, no items appear on the list, as usual. When the
user begins to type, a list of matches comes up, but if the mouse cursor
is over the area where a item appears, that item will be selected, so,
if the user types Enter (or Return) to select the first item on the list
(as we usually do when we use the HUD for speed), the item being hovered
is selected instead of the first item on the list.
This is specially annoying in small screens. I'm on a netbook and the
HUD takes the upper half of the screen when it's showing five results,
making it 50% likely for this undesired behaviour to happen.
Suggestion: HUD should only select an item on the list by mouse-hovering
if the mouse moves AFTER the list appears.
