Bug Description
to reproduce:
1. open the dash, search for a program and wait for search to complete (see bug 971130)
2. press enter to load the first item
This loads the program but only after waiting for the search to complete. Now:
3. open the dash again. search is saved, program you want is already the first item listed
4. press enter to load it
Result: nothing happens. It is as if the dash is still waiting for a search to complete before allowing you to press enter, but because the search is cached, no search takes place and therefore no completion event can be received. So in this case no matter how long you wait, you'll never be able to press enter.

Whilst the bug 971130 referenced is fixed, so you can now press enter earlier, I agree you can't if the search box is already filled in.

The bug is only partially solved. It depends on the position of the mouse.
(Compare to comment 3 in bug 987294)
1. press super key to open the dash
2. type: gedit
3. press super key to close the dash
4. press super key to open the dash
5a. case: the mouse is not over an icon in the dash -> press enter: gedit opens as expected
5b. case: the mouse is over an icon in the dash -> press enter: noting happens
When the dash is opened with the super key the keyboard focus should in the edit area. In 5b that is not the case. You can verify this by pressing left or right key and then enter. -> the item at the left or right of the mouse is opened and not the item in the edit area.

I confirm B Clausius observation. Pressing Enter launches first item, but only if the mouse does not highlight an other item in the dash.
