In some cases text is removed from editor instead of search field when search field is focused

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open any text file
2. Open search - press Ctrl+F
3. In text editor select text and copy something (text should be selected before closing file)
4. Close file
5. Open the same file again (do not click anywhere, just open search using shortcut)
6. Press Ctrl+F
7. Paste copied text Ctrl+V
8. Remove text from search - press Backspace
9. Text is removed from editor instead of search field

On the video below you can notice that when I press Backspace or Delete (the same apply to arrows) when search field is focused, then text is removed from the file instead of being removed from search field. But when I press other buttons like a, then it's added to search field.

Does this also happen after you use Command Palette (F1) to run Profiles: Create a Temporary Profile?

Thank you for checking it out.

Yes, the same happens with a "Temporary Profile".
This video was made in Windows Sandbox with clean installation of Visual Studio Code Insiders and without changing any settings (just to make sure that it's not caused by my custom settings or extensions).

It happens only in insiders build.

I cannot reproduce it anymore.
It seems that it has been fixed in the latest Insiders build.
