When using the search tool, having the mouse hover over search suggestions automatically selects them. This is usually intended, but when relying exclusively on keyboard navigation it can lead to accidentally submitting the wrong query.

Should be an easy fix. Basically, the mouse could be ignored once keyboard input is received (Until the mouse is moved again).

Steps to reproduce

  • Open search
  • Start typing something
  • Move the mouse over one of the available suggestions
  • Continue typing
  • Hit enter to submit your query
  • If your mouse was still hovering over a suggestion, it will be sent instead of query
