Search button not clickable on revealed unity launcher

[Oldřich Jedlička]

I have auto-hide of launcher enabled and I am opening it with Alt+F1. When the launcher appears, the search button (the top-most button) is selected (has focus) and accessible when I press Enter - the search screen appears. But the button is not accessible by mouse - the mouse click is not handled immediatelly and the search screen does not appear. I need to click somewhere else or press Esc key - it behaves like the click is remembered, but processed later.

Expected is that the search screen appears immediately when I click the search (the top-most) button of the launcher.

I am using Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS.

I just gave this a go with Ubuntu 15.04 64 bit and could reproduce.

When the launcher is revealed with Alt+F1, the tooltips do not work. I have to press Esc in order to get it working.
