1. Put focus on the search input box in the settings page.
2. Start typing quickly.
3. At some point the input loses focus.

~~I can only replicate this when doing the following.~~

~~- Search for some random term and wait for search to complete
- Clear search term and wait for default page to load. (Search field will lose focus)
~~1.~~ Search for some random term again and search field will always lose focus after results are loaded.~~

EDIT: Tried on master, getting it too.
