Application: Lens
Issue: When typing a namespace in the namespace input/search field, using the Up Arrow or Down Arrow keys causes the dropdown/list window to close immediately.
Expected Behavior: After entering text in the namespace field, pressing the arrow keys should allow navigation through the available namespace options in the dropdown list.
Actual Behavior: The dropdown closes instantly when pressing either the Up or Down arrow key, making it impossible to navigate or select items using the keyboard.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Go to a view with namespace selection
- Click on the namespace input field
- Type any namespace or partial namespace name
- Press Up Arrow or Down Arrow
Result: The dropdown closes immediately instead of moving selection between items.
Impact: Keyboard navigation for namespace selection is currently broken, forcing users to use the mouse for selection.
