Bug Description
Sometimes the dash search box does not respond to typing. Other times it does respond, but only if you type very slowly. When this problem is happening, you can switch to a different window (text editor, etc.) and type normally. Hence it is not a problem with the keyboard or with X.
It seems like Dash might be making some tap/press distinction and only responding to key presses in the search box, which is terribly bad behavior. Users should be able to type quickly when using the search box.

I am also experiencing this and it's not a duplicate of bug #856205. Unlike bug #856205, the problem here is not that the wrong command is run, it's that nothing at all or only a few letters show up when you type something.
