unity dash not expanding application list properly

[Brian Buchanan]

When attempting to expand the list of applications in the dash while using a filter other than All, Accessories or System, the dash does not expand the list downwards. Maximizing the dash then collapses the list completely.

What to do.
Open dash and select Media Apps.
Click - Installed see more results. -- (Fails to expand)
Maximize dash -- (List completely collapses)
Click Installed. -- (List reappears)
