I get this bug when I type any thing into Dash. For example, I click on dash and type "syst" to open system settings and I immediately get this bug.

I clicked on the Dash launcher button and started to type "Chro" for Chromium, and this error came up.

I know I've seen it before, but I need to test further, but I think the error appears the first time you use the Dash after logging in. Once it's appeared the first time, it seems to go away until you reboot again.
