Bug Description

In Ubuntu 11.04 Unity, I like the search (super key) and run a command (Alt+F2) but cannot copy-paste into the text field that appears when you hit those key board shortcuts. Well you can, but it just pastes a meaningless symbol not the text. So when a nice helpful person like the team from Launchpad say "search for this using the Super key" or "run this command using Alt+F2", it has to be typed in manually. Slow!!!
