Binary package hint: unity
If I click multiple times on the global menu button such that each click is within about half a second of the previous click, all but the first click get ignored. So if I accidentally click on the corner of the screen and realize that I didn’t want to open/close the menu, I have to wait half a second doing nothing before trying again. This results in a frustrating perception of unresponsiveness.
(I’m guessing this is some kind of bug involving double-click detection?)
== TEST CASE ==
1. Tap on Super to open the dash
2. Press quickly on ESC then ALT+F2 (less than .5s between keystrokes ?)
3. Tap on Super to open the dash again
Result:
The second tap on Super (step 3) shows the "Run a command" prompt
Expected:
The dash opens

Fascinating: this doesn’t apply only to clicks, but also to keyboard shortcuts. So if open the global menu, wait a second, then hit Esc Alt+F2 within .5 seconds of each other, the “Run a command” menu doesn’t open. Then, the next time I click the global menu, I get the “Run a command” menu instead! Aagh!
