Do you use the Amazon functionality, if not then we can remove the feature and the issue may subside.

Not really, I usually use Firefox search bar, with no problems.
I can unlock it from the launcher.
Just thought there might be a problem with system.

Then run:

sudo apt-get --purge remove unity-lens-shopping
sudo apt-get --purge autoremove

Will remove it, log off and log on. Is the OS more stable?
