gnome-panel (alt+f2 run application) wrongly autocomplets application names

[LimCore]

In gnome, on Ubutnu 9.10 if I open alt+f2 and start typing name of application fast, then the auto-completion of the name kicks in.

But if I type too fast, then the name ends up wrong:

if I type konsole then the input box contains:
konsolele

it has to be typed in REALLY fast to get this effect but it hanpens for people using computer a lot like developers

very annoying, please fix it

could you record an screencast showing the issue? Thanks.

Pedro: ok, attached

mplayer gnome_panel_run_autocomplete_bug.ogv -speed 0.15

I type "firefox" it ends up with "firefoxox"

I type "fir", auto completion adds -efox giving the correct "firefox", -efox is highlighted
I type "e", the text reads "firefox" and -fox is highlighted
I type "f" and then the cursor jumps to end of text, and highlight is gone,
so when I finish typing by pressing the last "ox" it is appended to end of "firefox".

Interestingly, I created a new user, and there the problem does not seem to reoccur (same box, clear user)
The user that do have this problem doesnt seem to have any unusual settings that I can think of.

Btw, the list-of-applications list is expanded as you can see.

Thanks for the screencast LimCore, however i cannot reproduce that here, if you're still experiencing the issue with Lucid, may you please send it upstream to bugzilla.gnome.org? Thanks in advance.
