Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

Sorry for the unclear bug title, I'll try to explain this annoying bug as simply as I can.

The new Alt-F2 launcher in Gnome 2.14 (on Dapper) presents a list of "known applications" under the command edit box. This list behaves incorrectly and / or annoyingly in most circumstances (at least here)

To reproduce :
-------------------

Alt-F2, then type "ge" (without quotes)
The list updates and "Text Editor" appears in the list
Click on it : it disappears !

Select all the text from the edit box with the mouse
Hit Del and type "gedi"
The list updates and "Text Editor" appears again in the list
Click on it : it does not disappear !

Regards

By "it disappears" I mean that the list updates itself as a complete list again, which I find very confusing...

Something else : when the focus is on the list and the user types, an embedded real-time search box appears. I beleive that feature should be deactivated in this context.
