In perspective, When i select a couple of dropdowns in a row and then go to a text field and type something, the text gets typed in the searchable dropdowns. Showing off some really odd behavior.

i type in ‘df’ (some random chars) in the begining when just opening the page and it works as intended, but after selecting a bunch of dropdown and typing in it again this happends…

its just a bunch of dropdown with options, no bindings, scripts or anything else used for this demo, but it also happended when there are bindings and stuff.

Edit:  
It also seems to happen just selecting a bunch of dropdown, even without the textfield

version: **8.1.9 (b2021080617)**
