Steps to Reproduce

  1. Navigate to Tasks
  2. Attempt to use the user search dropdown
  3. Type more than one character

Expected Behavior

The user search should filter and display matching users as you type.

Actual Behavior

The dropdown stops working after typing approximately one character.

    I wasn't able to reproduce this, going to un-assign myself until we can gather some further context on this 🙂

    I checked this again and it doesn't manifest as obviously, but there's definitely some issues. Here's a screen recording: https://www.loom.com/share/b9867bb39d824b9faf759788fc08dae2

    • There are multiple Alexes in the initial dropdown, but most of them disappear when I type al. There's Alex B/G/H in the original dropdown, but only Alex T shows up later
    • I realize now that the list of names is not actually sorted alphabetically, but it looks like maybe it was intended to be? Like all the Alexes should be together
    • It seems pretty deterministic; refreshing the page and slowing down typing don't produce different results
