IDEA-42165 New search box misses initial characters

Issue is visible to: All Users

When I type "alt-f3" to activate incremental search, and then immediately start typing my search term, my first 1-3 characters go into the editor instead of into the search box.

This is quite annoying when I am working quickly to have to not only retype into the search box, but undo the random changes made to the editor. A couple times I haven't even noticed its happened and i've checked files in with extra characters in them causing a build break. Please fix this!

Environment: win xp

Issue was resolved

Please please fix this. It keeps happening. The worst part is that the letters that actually do make in in to the search box cause the editor to scroll away from the location that the first letter got typed into the file. As a result you never actually see the file change until the compile fails, or worse yet, when the bug is reported!
