Research direction

Start with frontend/src/components/floating-menus/NodeCatalog.svelte around lines 110-111 and frontend/src/components/widgets/inputs/TextInput.svelte around lines 31-35. Reproduce the node catalogue search after dragging a typed wire, then trace the focus change and text selection behavior. Done means the input still receives focus while the resolved type is not automatically selected, so typing narrows the search normally.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Reproduction

Drag a wire from an output with a resolved type
Type something to narrow down your search
Note how the type information is lost from the search since it is automatically selected

This is really annoying UX.

The node catalogue is only temporary

Is it really? It is basically unchanged from its initial implementation for 2 years. See #2072.

Code

The node catalogue automatically focuses the input (this is desired):

When the focus is changed, the text input automatically selects all the text (not desired)
