I think I can explain some comments above. It seems that while typing, unity is looking for commands that are related to what currently being typed in. This is indicated by a rotating icon during typing. This activity is not immediately stopped when the user stops typing, but remains for some time depending on the search string, the state of caches and hardware. If the user presses 'ENTER' before unity has finished this activity, i.e., the rotating icon is displayd, the command is *not* being executed. If the user waits that rotating icon disappears, then the command *is* executed.
To me, it seems that the enter key should force stop that searching activity in order to retain predictabiltiy. ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/737538 Title: Alt+F2 xkill does nothing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/737538/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
