Description Corey 2018-03-13 17:10:38 UTC 
Pressing superkey, then typing to search for application, a single keystroke produces multiple copies of that letter in the search bar. Once this behavior begins, the number of letters per keystroke increments by 1. 

I can delete these "spammed" letters and then type normally in the search bar.

A reboot or session restart resolves this behavior.
