Description Andreas Steffinger 2012-03-16 12:24:54 UTC 
Hi there,

i'm using the 3.3.90 build with Archlinux and saw this strange behavior. 

When i go into the activities menu using mouse or superkey, i can't move select items using arrow keys. If i press tab one time, i can afterwards use arrow keys to move around and selct applications, documents or contacts.

I tried to reproduce it with 3.3.5 but couldn't because everything was fine there.

Thanks for your work,

Andi

To be clear, this is on search results right?
Comment 2 Andreas Steffinger 2012-03-16 13:11:13 UTC 
Yes. This is in Search results and in the applications Tab.
Comment 3 Florian Müllner 2012-03-16 13:34:18 UTC 
Note that there's a (needs-work) patch in 663901.

I don't think this is a duplicate.

And while the patch in 663901 may fix the problem, it's a different problem. Try searching for something, and then pressing down -- it doesn't navigate to the next result until you press "Tab".

Excuse me, nevermind. I didn't realize that the search nav stuff had actually landed.
