Public bug reported:
When entering a command (e.g. "gedit") an pressing return in the search
bar, unity doesn't wait for the search to be completed before starting
the command. This results in unity starting the latest command from the
history, e.g. the gnome calculator.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch the launcher.
2. Enter "gcalctool", wait a few seconds, press return. (The calculator is
started)
3. Launch the launcher again
4. Quickly enter "gedit" and immediately press return
5. The calculator is started
Expected behaviour:
After step 4, unity searches the appropriate command and launches it (as it
would do if I would wait a few seconds before hitting return).
This is a major bug (in my eyes), as it may even result in lost data
(e.g. when accidentally running "killall lowriter" again). I have a very
fast machine with Ubuntu on an SSD, so the effect may even be much worse
on other computers.
