Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

First thanks for alt-f2!

But I have a small bug in there. It sometimes runs the wrong command (the previous one I had typed). This
seems to happen more easily when typing fast and hit enter before the icon for the matching app appears.

However I have seen it also when typing very slowly. Going with the cursor up and down then (to de-focus the
highlighted icon and focus is again) make it DTRT then.

Thanks for your bug report :)

Yeah, this issue is known, I personally think that [Enter] should wait for the model to be synchronized (that means, the first result to be refreshed on screen) to trigger it. Gord, what do you think?
