The component picker has always been a bit janky. However, the picker in the new UI is now almost unusable within projects that have many components.
What I’m seeing
The picker I’m talking about is the one shown when I hit SHIFT+I. I have the following issues with it:
- Search is painfully slow, sometimes taking up to 30 seconds to load the results
- In-flight searches prevent continuing to type in the search terms
- If I don’t type all the keywords in immediately, sometimes an in-flight search while I’m typing will clear new characters typed into the search bar
I’ve emphasised the biggest issue I have with the search experience. Here is a short screen recording of the issue:
What I expected
The search input field is completely isolated from whether or not there is a search in progress. That means I can at least make sure I have the right search terms and wait for the results. This is pretty standard behaviour for a search input.
