I use Google Desktop as an application launcher. Sometimes Quick Search Box doesn't get keyboard focus.

Repro:

  1. Start cmd.exe
  2. Press Ctrl Ctrl, Quick Search Box will appear.
  3. Type blah

Observe: blah appears in cmd.exe

Expected: blah should appear in Quick Search Box.

I have Google Desktop 5.8.0809.23506-en-pb and Windows XP. Is there any workaround? Is it fixed in version 5.9?

It is fixed in version 5.9

Update: No, it still happens after some time. Restarting Google Desktop fixes the problem.

Does it get focus if you press Ctrl Ctrl a second time (four times in total?). I used to have a similar problem with Launchy, and it fixed it by hitting the key combination for it.
