This screenshot shows a simple search returning duplicates of the intended result. Weird.

In my Fedora 19/GNOME 3.8.2 system, sometimes upon booting, I notice that anything I type into Search returns multiple copies of the same result, for files that is (not Applications). This bug only happens on occasion, not 100% of the time. Even the number of duplicates varies; sometimes it's three, sometimes more.

A simple ALT + F2, then "r" fixes the problem, which tells me it's definitely a Shell bug.

I should assume such a glaring bug has already been fixed in 3.9.x, but I'm filing this just in case it hasn't.
