Public bug reported:
When I use the launcher lens (the menu, you know what I mean...) to
start a program I usually type until the desired program appears in the
list of matches - and because I am a "keyboard guy", I stay there and
want to use the cursor keys to quickly hit Enter on the already
displayed match.
But that does not work properly!
In my attached example, I type "virtu" because I want to start VirtualBox. It's
the only match, it's displayed very quickly and from a UI standpoint I know
instinctively hit the Down arrow key to get to that match.
But that does not work!!! Somehow the focus it now somewhere "in the middle",
unseen, undisplayed and completely useless. I suspect the category,
"Anwendungen" in my case, now has the keyboard focus, but that's completely
nonsense! You can't do anything there!
Thus, you need to hit Down a second time to get to the VirtualBox
program icon!
WHY??? Where's the usability? Even if I got several matches, that makes no
sense at all.
1) because you can't SEE the focus -> VERY bad!
2) because you can't DO anything with that focus!!
PLEASE fix this issue, it's driving me crazy!!! (have a look at MacOS to
see good usability... ;-))
Ubuntu Oneiric, 64bit.
