[regression] Dash closes if the onscreen keyboard is outside of Dash' geometry

[ubername]

[Impact]

See original description, Dash disappearing when OSK used.

[Test case]

See manual test in https://code.launchpad.net/~brandontschaefer/unity/dash-osk-fix/+merge/128290

[Regression potential]

Low, test OSK with Dash and Dash in general.

---

Using the onscreen keyboard (System Settings - Universal Access - Typing) causes unity dash to disappear. It should enter characters into the search field.

  * Cherry-picked from upstream:
    - Reverted the switch from boost to std which was part of the fix for
      LP: #1046201. The crash is still fixed without this change, so it was
      actually unneeded
