Bug Description

Sometimes focus is lost when navigating the dash via the keyboard.

Press super to open dash
Type "up" to search for "Software Updater"
Use arrow keys to navigate down into the dash results.

Sometimes the highlight disappears and its impossible to tell what's highlighted. Also escape doesn't work to clear the search term or close the dash leading me to believe the dash has lost focus entirely.

Here's a video showing it. Note at ~32 seconds I mistakenly say "mouse cursor" when I mean "highlight". Not had coffee yet.

It's possible this is a duplicate of bug 1124484 or bug 1070302 but I've only ever noticed this on raring, and only recently.

I can't reproduce this and nobody has responded to my inquiry about whether this can be reproduces anymore on newer versions of Ubuntu. I'm going to mark this Fix Released. If it does indeed still occur, then we can either reopen this bug report or open a new one.

Thanks!
