See video in URL field for example.

From the home screen, if I select the search field and begin typing the name of the package I want to install, the field is cleared as I'm typing, erasing some of the characters I'd typed before.

Typing in search field from other windows in Discover seems to work fine; it appears to be just the home screen.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Discover.
2. Click or highlight search field from home screen.
3. Begin typing to search for packages.

Actual Results:  
The beginning characters from the search that is typed is erased or cleared, resulting in undesired search results.

Expected Results:  
Search field shouldn't clear characters in mid-typing.

Bug discovered on Kubuntu 15.10 x64 with KDE Plasma 5.5.4 via Kubuntu backports ppa.
