Bug Description
A textbox appears over the dash icon and hides the dash prompt text area when the mouse remains on the icon.
Steps to reproduce:
- move the cursor over the dash icon (upper left of the unity panel) and click.
- leave the mouse there to type in the dash.
What happens:
As with any panel icon, a textbox appears to describe what the icon means (see attachment). This textbox remains there and hides the typing zone that appears right of it when the dash appears. I have to move the mouse to make the textbox disappear and see what I type (moving a hand back from the keyboard and back is necessary and irritating).
What should happen:
The textbox should disappear prompty when the icon is clicked (or any other elegant behaviour that allows typing without hindrance).
