Comment 1 for bug 1281925

@hikiko; thanks for looking into this!

At 0:58 in the attached youtube video there is a brief moment when both the category header and the first search result are both highlighted at the same time. We have an issue in that there should only every be one item highlighted at any one time. When we looked at this issue before we couldn't find a clean way around this issue and that is why the first search result is not currently highlighted by default.

If the first search result is highlighted by default, obvious solution to this problem (when the user presses the down arrow, the highlight moves up) would be confusing because the focus would be going the the opposite direction from the key press. Jumping the first category header would also be inconsistent.

See if you can find a clean solution around the problem given that A) there can only be one focused item at any one time B) when the user presses the down arrow for the first time they expect the focus to go one step downwards from the text entry box they were typing in. The current implementation in 13.10 is the best solution we could find to this problem, but there may be a better solution and we are open to suggestions.
