UX issue in global search field

[lorien]

Steps to reproduce

1. Click global search input
2. Enter any non-empty query
3. Press backspace button as many times as required to delete whole query (make input field empty) and then press back-space ONE MORE TIME

Expected behaviour

I expect focus keep inside the field so I can enter another query

Actual behaviour

The input field has focus while I am deleting chars of the query.
The input field still has focus when I delete last character and get empty query.
The input field loose focus when I press back-space ONE MORE TIME after I removed last character.

That does not make sense. Nobody (or at least me) does not count presses on back-space button. People (or at least me) just keep pressing the back-space button until the field gets cleared. In practice it means that the field receives a few BackSpaceButtonIsPressed events after whole content is removed.

You're right, that's unusual. But this is intended, it's supposed to work that way, sorry.

Good news, while the focus indeed leaves the field, you still can type the new query right away, it will work, even without the focus in the field - once you start typing the query focus will return back in.

@john-preston No. When focus leaves the global search field it moves to another place. If I start typing, my key presses are forwarded to another region, for example message input field in the group which is open at the moment.

@lorien Hmm, maybe the auto unfocus should work in case nothing else is open. I'll need to check, perhaps it can be improved.
