Bug Description
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the app drawer and type "terminal"
2. Select the ubuntu-terminal-app
3. The terminal will launch and the window style will make it look as though it has focus. It will display a password input prompt.
4. Type "Hello"
5. Open the app drawer again and see the input went to the search bar instead
Expected result:
The terminal password prompt should display "*****"
Actual result:
The app drawer search bar will receive this input instead (despite not being visible)

This may have security implications, since in this example case it can result in the user unknowingly typing their password into a plain text input field which may not be revealed again until much later.
