Issue #23648 has a high chance to be related as well

[jhonDoe15]

writing here cause it seems to be the oldest, happens to me too after any letter (seems like any) is pressed to start searching

installed via Microsoft store

happens on 0.66, 0.65 and 0.64 (0.65 + 0.64 installed from GitHub release assets)

Seems to be Fixed via RESTART to PC

Hi! We've identified this issue as a duplicate of another one that already exists on this Issue Tracker. This specific instance is being closed in favor of tracking the concern over on the referenced thread. Thanks for your report!

[jhonDoe15]

@crutkas Are you sure the two issues related? The behavior presented in the issue thread does not seem to correlate as for me it happened right after installing and for seemingly every search (or may I say every letter) query

[crutkas]

There is some type of race condition happening and we aren’t having the dispatcher called correctly. Issue we face is repo’ing with someone that has a debugger.

If you have VS 17.4 installed, would love to do set up a call.
