 When searching for a plugin using the add plugin tool and performing a
 search using the search box, the autocomplete drop list keeps flashing on
 and off too fast to click anything. This seems like it may be a result of
 the search dynamically updating as I'm typing, but this behaviour makes it
 impossible to use the autocomplete list which in a recent search contained
 the exact name of the plugin I was looking for, whereas the main search
 was not yet narrowed down enough to contain that plugin. When I would try
 to click the term to quickly get to that plugin, the list would disappear
 and not reappear until I'd start typing again, at which point, the screen
 would refresh, once again removing the autocomplete list.
