KDE Application Launcher - Search Does Nothing After Latest KDE Update

After the most recent KDE update, when I launch Application Launcher, the Search field finds nothing.
Search was the default field for the cursor after pressing the Start key or Alt-F1.
Now you have to select it,

Is anyone else experiencing this?

I just took the 5.23.1 upgrade, rebooted, and tried to repro your issue but it seems to be working fine for me.

Can repro but it's weird, feels like a race condition of some sort, it eventually works after a few retries potentially the first time but it's definitely not really consistent.

Looking at some bug reports, do you use multiple application launchers? I have two on a multi monitor setup so this sounds to me like: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=443131
