Heh, yeah VS2022 search text boxes appear to be a bit wonky occasionally.
Tim Corey called it out in a MAUI first look video a few months back when something similar happened in the 17.3 preview bits. I guess it's not fixed yet...  https://youtu.be/HmyfjAaPW0g?t=109

Speaking of annoyances with the latest VS2022 - the new git line staging thing is so aggressive with the mouse popup up at the end of a line now, making edits to a diff painful:

Has anyone else got a problem with the Open recent list in the latest VS2022? Type some search text and it just stalls busy with empty results.

I've also noticed that the Replace in Files feature over external folders has the same bug I reported several weeks ago. It will tell you "x occurrences(s) replaced" but no files are touched. I reported this back then, but a support person noticed a duplicate posted after me, so I got marked as a duplicate (but I was first!!). I would have thought that this was a really serious issue, but it seems to have gone quiet. Doesn't anyone else use VS for global changes? It's a powerful feature.
