Bug Description
On my Lenovo Yoga 260 I have this annoying problem. At first I thought it was just my typing, but after carefully testing it, I find it is not my typing. You need to type the characters fairly quickly, but often when you do, they come on the search bar in a different order than you typed them. For example, I have a directory called LaserTag and so when I want to find it among all the others in my directory, I open the nautilus window and start typing Laser, but what is printed in the search bar is Lsaer. This may happen in some other programs. I am not sure about that, but it is at least most apparent in nautilus, and reproducible. For example, I did the test twice and got Lsaer twice just now.

I should comment as well, that I have several different computers running Ubuntu 22.10 like this one, but this is the one that I am sure has this problem. If the problem exists on the others it is very much less frequent. I should also mention that I use a Dvorak key layout, which may make me type faster than some, but I have run tests where I was typing slowly, but not slowly enough to wait for each letter to appear before typing the next one, and I still get this problem. If I let each letter appear before typing the next, all is well.
