Public bug reported:
When using the search lens, the first program shown or the last program
searched for is sometimes launched instead of the program entered.
To reproduce:
* Press Super to show the search lens
* See 'Archive manager' as the first time
* Quickly type 'xpad' and press enter
* See Archive manager launch
You must do this before the search completes or the lens has time to
update. It seems to launch the first item displayed when you press
enter without waiting for the search to complete.
Note in this case I don't have xpad installed. I expected software
center to launch but instead got archive manager.
I've had times where I launch Thunderbird using a search, close it, then
try to launch something else later, and have Thunderbird (or what ever
the last searched app) load.
You need a machine under load so that you can type faster than it can
update.
