Activities: characters are not displayed in the order that they are typed

[shinyblue]

Click Activities. Run finger from Q to T. You should get qwert but instead I get qwtre

It also affects more normal use, e.g. I can't type term (for terminal), it comes out "temr". It seems to work if you type really slowly.

I also noticed weird keyboard behaviour in gnome software and photos bot on the search fields. Press a single key and it comes out twice. Both apps then because unusable after I'd pressed backspace which seemed to go on forever.

Keyboard works fine in other contexts and I never had these issues in 14.04's version of Gnome.

I have not encountered this bug for a week or two now, so from my POV, it can be closed, assumed fixed by some update since the first beta iso that I installed back then.
