1. open the dash, search for a program and wait for search to complete (see bug 971130)
2. press enter to load the first item
This loads the program but only after waiting for the search to complete. Now:
3. open the dash again. search is saved, program you want is already the first item listed
4. press enter to load it
Result: nothing happens. It is as if the dash is still waiting for a search to complete before allowing you to press enter, but because the search is cached, no search takes place and therefore no completion event can be received. So in this case no matter how long you wait, you'll never be able to press enter.
