Description

### Under which category would you file this issue?

Providers

### Apache Airflow version

3.3.0

### What happened and how to reproduce it?

1. Create any Dag
2. Add a `Run After` filter in the Airflow UI
3. Enter values in the date picker

When I enter a value for the date picker, the value I typed is not displaying in the textbox and the value in the textbox seems to be some random number. The textbox also seems to be updating after each keystroke.

I also have the same experience when filtering jobs in the Jobs tab.

### What you think should happen instead?

Instead of auto-submit, I think it might be more usable if it was
* like in Airflow 2, where it was a dropdown selector
* a confirmation / save button to its not refreshing on each keystroke (maybe it is a browser/chrome issue)

Research direction

Reproduce the issue through the Airflow UI's Run After date picker and the Jobs tab filter, entering values one keystroke at a time. Confirm whether the textbox refreshes or submits during typing; done means the entered date remains visible and filtering does not disrupt input on each keystroke.
