Suggested folder list belongs to previous search #179

Hi:

Using TB 91.9.1 (32-bit) and Nostalgy++ 3.4.2

When moving a folder I will type the first few letters of the folder I am thinking of. If I backspace (because I made a mistake or changed my mind) and delete all characters, and then start typing a different folder name, the list of suggested folders belongs to the previous search. More specifically, it uses the first letter of the previous search. It is as if the search string used for the suggested folder list was not deleted completely and the first letter of the previous search remained.

An interesting behavior is that if I do not delete the last character, then the list of suggested folders behaves properly. Of course, this means that the new search string would have to begin with (at least) the first letter of the last search string.

Finally, another interesting observation is that if I have deleted the initial search string and am typing a new one, thus observing the unexpected behavior that I see the previous suggested-folder list, and then I delete at least one character but do not delete all characters, and then start typing a different search string, then the suggested-folder list works properly. It is as if deleting at least one character resets the list.

I hope this is helpful.
