Bug Description

In the launcher it's possible to have two separate focus rectangles, because mouse and keyboard focus are treated separately:
1) Open the dash
2) Type something which returns more results (I have used 'w')
3) Mouse over the first result, it gets the focus rectangle
4) press Down, Down, Right to select the second icon with the keyboard
Expected:
only one icon is focused
What happens:
Both the first and the second icons seem to be focused, causing confusion, and not knowing which one will get launched when the user presses enter. See screenshot attached.

I think this can be considered as a bitesize, tagging appropriately.
