Comment 6 for bug 1077260

Kyle, I just tried again after updating, and with auto-show enabled it happens here every time, on 12.10 amd64 and arm7l. Typing quickly, I can get a couple of letters in until Onboard hides. If I wait after the first one it happens as well.

To clarify, I believe, for the given input, Onboard does react correctly. I think the software-center devs should have a look at this bug report and, if possible, try to keep the focus on the search box. Last time I didn't realize that software-center wasn't linked, so I'll add them now.
