After pressing super, although the last search is stil shown, enter wont launch the selected app

[Lucio Torre]

To reproduce:

1- super + search for something (e, gedit)+ enter
2- gedit is launched
3- press super, gedit shows in the search box and as a listed app
3- press enter
4- nothing happens

Gedit should be launched in this case, or the search box should be empty, as it is not useful to have the last result if you are going to have to search again.
