Non expected behavior in Appllication Menu search #479

When I look for 'code' in the application menu, the first option is already pre-selected, that is, if I press the Enter key, the command is executed by opening the Code application, but if I press the down arrow key, the second option it is not selected immediately. I don't know if this is a real bug or a feature, but to me it looks like unexpected behavior.

Hi.

By "pre-selected" you mean the grey highlight, right? It only turns blue after you pressing Down. Pressing Down a third time selects the second option. Is this what you're seeing?

I checked how Firefox handles the address bar searches and the first result is immediately highlighted blue. Pressing Down again highlights the second option. The Files application also works like this.

This is happening because, unlike Firefox, pressing Down makes the Applications Menu search box loose focus and the first result gets selected, which is redundant in my opinion, since it was already selected in the first place.

I think you should change the title to make it clearer.
