Remove focus from the filter field (e.g. click anywhere else in the app, or switch to another app and back).
Try to focus the filter field by pressing Cmd-Opt-F again.
Expected: the filter field is focused.
Actual behaviour: the filter field disappears. No problem, just press the shortcut again to bring it back, right? Surprise, your search got cleared! 😈
(Although the scroll position actually seems to remain! A lovely reprieve from #101 and #116.)
The "easiest" way to avoid this is to train yourself to use the mouse to focus the filter field. It's possible to use use the tab order, but that can take a lot of key presses. And it only works if you remember to avoid pressing Cmd-Opt-F if the filter field is already visible. If you've already pressed it, sorry.
This behaviour is an interesting contrast to the global Apple Music/Your Library/iTunes search field, which has a lot of bugs where it doesn't clear a search. 🤷
