Bug Description

1) Close Banshee
2) Click on the sound menu, and click Banshee. This takes some time to start.
(Maybe Firefox would be another good candidate).

3) Before Banshee has appeared, open the dash using the keyboard, and try to start gnome-terminal.

Actual results: Banshee then appears, and the dash closes itself while I'm in the middle of typing into the dash.

I cannot reproduce the bug you reported in fully updated Ubuntu 11.10 install. Can you please attach a video to show the problem you are facing?

Sorry, I've been a bit lax about detail - I assumed apport would cover this.

This happens in Unity 2D. Unity 3D has started working for me now, so I can confirm that it doesn't happen in the 3D version.
