Unity dash does not get keyboard focus first time

rated 0 times [ 3] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 521 / 2 Years ago, tue, december 14, 2021, 8:53:12

When I login to a unity session, the first time I press the Super key, the dash pops up but the keyboard focus does not go to it. I press the Super key a second time to dismiss the dash, and a third time to bring it back, and now it has the keyboard focus and I can type away happily. Every time after that the dash gets the keyboard focus as I expect it to. Anyone got any idea why? Or how to fix it?

I am using Natty/11.04 and I upgraded to Natty during the beta period which might have made the difference. (I am still using Natty) This behaviour has been the same since I upgraded and started using Unity.

Edit: As suggested by the first answer, I have now filed a bug about this.

Unless you think this is a configurable feature and wonder how to disable the bug, you should file bugs on Launchpad.net. This site is meant for questions and answers and your question is quite clearly more of a bug report than a question.

Since you're talking about keyboard focus, I guess maybe you're talking about the Dash and not the Launcher. The launcher is the strip of icons on the left side of your screen. The Dash is the one where you search for files, apps, music, etc. (In order to help you file a bug). Please provide as much details in the report as possible.
