When I click into the channel search field, the Channels and Users list in left panel gets redisplayed in some random order, and without the section headings like 'Channels' 'Direct Messages ' etc
This reordered list looks exactly like the normal default list, so execpt for the blinking cursor in the search field, there is no indication to the user what they are seeing.
The list should not redraw until user has input some characters to search on

Research direction
Start at the channel search entry point and reproduce the issue by focusing the search field without entering characters. Check the left-panel Channels and Users list before and after focus. Done means the list does not redraw until search text is entered, while its ordering and section headings remain unchanged.
