Bug#471068: buggy autocompletion in the "run application" dialog renders this dialog useless for me

[Petr Gajdusek]

Package: gnome-panel
Version: 2.20.3-3
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

Open run dialog by pressing ALT+F2 and start typing name of
application. If you want run for example gnome-terminal you will end
with "gnome-terminalinal" text in inputbox. This is because after
typing "gnome-ter" rest of text "minal" will be autocompleted and
selected. This is ok, BUT now:

1) buggy behaviour: 
if I press the next letter "m" the cursor will move
after the end of autocompleted "gnome-terminal" and typing remaining
charactes "inal" will lead into the text "gnome-terminalinal". So the run
dialog will failed although I have typed correct application name.

2) expected behaviour: 
if I press the next letter "m" autocompleted
selected text should be replaced by "m" followed with new
autocompletion that will be selected. And so on.

This is very annoying behaviour that renders run application dialog
useless.

Thanks,
Petr
