Description

### Expected Behavior

Immediate autocomplete dropdown rendering ;)

### Actual Behavior

It also behaves weirdly, in that I often go to other request and suddenly drop-down appears and can't be dismissed other than choosing some value, which is than appended to my already filled out address bar path in previous request.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing the autocomplete behavior in Insomnia 2022.2.0 on Manjaro with a larger project, using the attached video as a reference. Done means the dropdown renders promptly, remains associated with the active request, and can be dismissed without changing the address bar.
