Bug: Instant search loses focus after each typed letter

[pkdevpl]

• I have Notes plugin open in PhpStorm 2023.2.4 in Window View Mode
• I choose All Notes folder, press three-dots icon, in notes list and click search icon
• I start typing and immidiately after each letter, search field loses focus and opens first note that it finds
• I need to click searchbar after each typed letter to search for longer phrase

@pkdevpl I'm sorry but I can't reproduce it, might you share a screenshot/movie for the problem? Especially I can't get where is this:

press three-dots icon

I reproduced this issue once using IDEA 2023.3.2, please help check the fixed EAP version works for you too: Notes.zip

@beansoft thank you for the update!

I installed notes from .zip file but the problem persists.

By the three dots I meant icon that shows up when icon bar is not wide enough to contain all the icons (sorry for the confusion). It's visible in the attached clip.

Is it under Windows or Mac? Please attach the logs via the menu Help > Collect logs and Diagnostic Data if possible.

In the clip I press single letter keys only, no enters or tabs. Each letter causes search input to loose focus and go to search imidiately. It looks like a problem with debounce

Sorry, this is work computer we have strict compliance rules ☹️

It's mac, Sonoma 14.2.1

Ok, got it. I am still a bit confused about the movie:

There is a Code Notes tab, but my version is like this:

Did you install the Code Note version 2023.2.0:

Plus, a small question:

I have Notes plugin open in PhpStorm 2023.2.4 in Window View Mode

Does it mean that you move the Notes tool window via PhpStorm's tool window's options menu:

Ok, got it. I am still a bit confused about the movie:

I use Material Icons plugin and custom theme. When I switch them off it looks simmilar:

I have 2023.3.0

I tried both Dock Pinned and Window view mode but it doesn't change the search behaviour.

Still not sure of the reason, but I've created a temp package that only searches when you press the Enter key, please try if it works for you: Notes.zip

[pkdevpl]

This works perfect! Thank you!

Still not sure of the reason

In JS apps we use debounce mechanism to wait couple seconds after last keypress event before sending query but not sure how it works in Jetbrains

[beansoft]

I used a debounce too, but the time is too short, only 100ms, I'll try to set up an option to adjust it.

[beansoft]

I've released a new version of the plugin to the JetBrains Marketplace, please check if it works for you.

There is progress! Debounce time is longer now (i can type two letters instead of one, before search fires up) but it looks like debounce time is counted from the first keystroke event instead of last 😶
