Searching and selecting items via the dash requires excessive pressing of the down arrow

[psypher]

Since upgrading to Oneiric I have been experiencing this annoying bug/feature when searching from the dash. previously all you had to do was, for example, press Super key, type "thund" wait for the dash to find thunderbird and press the down arrow ONCE and press enter to launch the app. NOw since Oneiric for some reason I have to press the down arrow twice. its like the cursor is moving to the "Applications" menu heading first and then it will select the first app in the found list. This is silly, you cannot do anything when the cursor is at "Applications", can't press enter, can't even click or right click it. So there is no reason to have the be able to move there. Please can this bug be attended to as it was not present in Natty.

Thanks
