(restored EventBox code)

This did not help. Although scrolling (still) works, the EventBox causes two problems: each input character is doubled and slingshot does not refresh view while typing in the search box (or possibly process input at all) until changing desktops (ergo, likely on full screen redraw).

I really think the EventBox is problematic.
