Actually this is by design. You can't find/open setting, screensaver etc. by pressing Alt-F2 because it is used only to run commands. You can always use Dash (Single press of Super-Key) for finding files and settings etc.
So, for now i'm marking this bug as Invalid. Thanks

If someone from the design team can confirm what Mohsin wrote, this could be marked invalid.
