Comment:

 Replying to [comment:1 Eben]:
 > Can you be more specific than "something sometimes appears"? Is the bug
 filed because keystrokes are appearing without user input, or because
 keystrokes are being queued up and then added to the search just after
 switching views? (bug) Or does the bug simply imply that if you enter a
 search with no matching results into the search field you will then get no
 results? (feature, by definition)

 > I think the urgency of the bug is far less in the neighborhood than in
 home, for two reasons.  First, in Home we actually switched views when
 this happened, causing an unexpected context switch.  Second, there was no
 indication of an empty result set in Home—just a blank screen.  In the
 neighborhood, neither of these facts are true. It's definitely not a high
 priority bug, if there is a bug here at all.
 ---------
 Keystrokes (usually one, sometimes more) appear without any input from a
 keyboard'a character keys, usually when switching from different views
 using keyboard's view switching keys (i.e. switching from the Home view to
 the Neighborhood view). This happens occasionally (can't just be
 reproduced per desire) - but I was able to catch one of my machines in
 that state and showed it (while the machine still being in that state) to
 Chris.


 I believe that users can be quite confused by this bug, so I'm changing
 the ticket's priority back to "high" (sorry, Eben).
