Public bug reported: If I hit Super, type in the prefix of the application I want to launch, then hit 'enter' then sometimes the applicaiton is not started.
It seems the search results aren't populated quick enough so the lens hasn't yet shown the search results and has nothing to launch. I have a recent enough laptop with the fglrx driver. I suspect the rendering is taking too long and holding up the results. As a self-described power user I find this annoying as I have to pause on common operations.
