Bug Description

ALT F2 opens with all text selected i think caret should be at end of input

Example:

open by pressing alt + F2
- type ubuntu-bug (or anything else)
- hide the window by pressing somewhere outside of it
- press alt + F2 again
- All text in the input is selected
- I want to append something so i press -> (right arrow)
- All text stays selected caret is at the end of the text now
- i type something i want to append
- all text that was there is now lost.

I think pressing the right arrow should deselect the selection so that i can append something to the text that is already present.
