** Summary changed:
- Unity's ALT+F2 lacks functionality present in Gnome 2.XX
+ Pressing <enter> in Unity Alt+F2 sometimes passes incomplete command
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: unity
- Steps to repeat:
+ Steps:
+ 1) <Alt-F2>
+ 2) Type 'xlogo'
+ 3) Wait until xlogo appears. Click on it with the mouse.
+ 4) Close the xlogo window that appears
+ 5) <Alt-F2>
+ 6) Quickly type 'xeyes<enter>'
- 1. Press ALT+F2
- 2. start typing a command
+ Expected Behaviour:
+ - 1 xlogo window appears
+ - 1 xeyes window appears.
- What happens:
- 3. The launcher displays various commands, but requires that you use tab or
the mouse to get to them.
- 4. Pressing enter without the complete command entered means nothing happens
+ Actual Behaviour:
+ - 2 xlogo window appears.
- What should happen:
- 1. The launcher should, like the one in Gnome 2.XX, try to find the entry in
/usr/bin which you're typing the name of.
- 2. When it has figured it out, it should show the text after the text entry
cursor, perhaps slightly faded to show that it is merely a suggestion.
- 3. Pressing enter should then execute the suggested command.
- 4. If the user continues to enter text, the suggestion should slowly be
replaced by what the user enters if it matches, and disappear if it doesn't.
- 5. Pressing tab with the suggestion displayed should complete the command
according to the suggestion, but not execute it, allowing the user to add
options.
+ It seems that this <alt-f2> run dialog is not implemented as a run
+ dialog, but an active incremental search dialog, and the <enter> stops
+ the search from running and simply runs the last match. If you type the
+ command name too quickly, the search never functions at all, and the
+ previous search result from the previous invocation is used.
