### Problem Description
Flow Launcher, it appears to be triggering hundreds of events in rapid succession. This can overwhelm other applications that listen for these events, causing them to crash or become unresponsive.
Example of what Flow Launcher sends and I wonder what the reason for this is

Also this is not just from settings page, but also from search https://github.com/amnweb/yasb/issues/375

Research direction
Start by reproducing the event burst in Flow Launcher 1.20.1 from both the settings page and search, using the linked YASB report as context. Trace where those interactions emit events and verify that listeners no longer receive hundreds of rapid events while normal launcher behavior remains intact.
