[Bug 34024] Re: the last characters are not taken into account if you're typing too fast

[Christof Krüger]

Hi Martin,

I played around a bit and found out that it still happens in Edgy.

To reproduce, execute for example gaim and gvim or gconf-editor so that they all appear from history when you type the letter g.
In order to make this bug more obvious, start gconf-editor and edit /apps/deskbar/typingdelay to something big, e.g. 2000 ms.

Now go to the taskbar and type "g". Wait the 2 seconds for the list to
appear. gaim will be listed above gvim because of the alphabetical
sorting. Now finish typing "gvim" and press enter immediately (without
waiting the 2 seconds). Gaim will be executed although you typed
"gvim<enter>"

As a workaround I set the typingdelay in gconf-editor to 0 but that's a
bit of a dirty hidden trick ;)
