Bug Description

Since a few days ago Slingshot behaves differently: when opening Slingshot (any possible way) and searching for an application, then hitting Return does nothing while it should open the selected application. Strange thing is Slingshot does open the app when holding CTRL, ALT, or Shift while pressing Return.
When opening Slingshot and navigating to an application using just the arrow keys (so without searching) it opens the application when pressing Return. So this seems to be related to using the integrated search?
As far as I know I did not change anything regarding keyboard settings and/or shortcuts.
Also for instance Spotlight-indicator launches applications in the correct way when searching and pressing Return.

This is a regression caused by revision 386. I have a fix for this and will upload it soon.

Might this patch also fix the wrong behavior of pressing Esc with an empty searchbox? I guess Slingshot should close then, but it doesn't...
