I've seen this too, I've noticed if I first click on the empty background (in the area where the icons show up after a successful search) and type in the program I want to open it's not displayed.
Steps to reproduce: 1. press alt+f2 2. Click on the empty background (in the area where the icons show up after a successful search) 3. type in the program I want to open Expected results: Program typed in is displayed Actual results Nothing is displayed. Additional info: If I click on one of the bottom icons, then I can select the program, but only if I select the correct filter. On the next search (after pressing escape and alt+f2 again) my typed in program will show up without clicking on one of the icons at the bottom. But this only works if one of the bottom icons were clicked previously -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/842413 Title: alt+f2 - can type, doing nothing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-2d/+bug/842413/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
