In the Search textfield (https://make-dev.mozillalabs.com/en-US/events/search/), it's pretty easy to type faster than the autocomplete widget can keep up; here's a screencast:

This might be a bug in the jQuery UI auto-complete.

If we can confirm a potential 'no-fix' in the hope that we can fix it upstream, or upstream sends us a fix...

This looks like the keyboard focus is being reassigned for a split second, hence your keystrokes not appearing. I think we have a fix (stop the Autocomplete doing things with focus). Will deploy and check on live. (Potentially fixed in https://github.com/rossbruniges/make.mozilla.org/commit/ce2a1fe0bbfaee7ef7303ef68ead338dd49d4970)
