** Description changed:

- On Ubuntu 20.04, a search delay of about one second was introduced 
(regression compared to Ubuntu 19.10).
- v2.4.4 of xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin fixes this, in particular this commit: 
https://git.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin/commit/?h=v2.4.4&id=4436c526050c4234734577f266ab79e44987b7d0
- I verified this by manually applying the linked patch.
- There don't seem to be any changes in 2.4.3 -> 2.4.4 other than this fix and 
translation updates, so it seems safe to update.
+ [Impact]
+ On Ubuntu 20.04, a search delay was introduced (regression compared to Ubuntu 
19.10) with the intent of reducing search results. This caused slower search 
updates and was reported to xfce bugzilla: 
+ https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16731
+ 
+ v2.4.4 of xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin reverts the delay, in particular this
+ commit: https://git.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-whiskermenu-
+ plugin/commit/?h=v2.4.4&id=4436c526050c4234734577f266ab79e44987b7d0
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ Rapidly type in the search box and note how long the results take to update.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential] 
+ Low. There are no changes in upstream 2.4.3 -> 2.4.4 other than this fix and 
translation updates. In addition, Ubuntu 20.10/Groovy and Debian unstable 
already use version 2.4.4, and no regressions have been reported, so it seems 
safe to update.
