I am also able to easily reproduce this bug. press F11 in chrome, press <super> key. I guess the dash takes the keyboard focus but is not visible. This is like a system hang as nothing works unless you again press the super key.

When an app is in fullscreen either the dash should not open at all or it should visibly take the focus. In my opinion former is better.
