When you first load the page, it loads the markets in batches over several seconds. If you start typing in the "groups" field, there's a dropdown of suggestions based on all the groups that exist. But every time it loads a new batch of markets, this dropdown goes away, which makes it frustrating to try to use the search while markets are still loading. I don't understand why this is happening, since when markets load it in should only affect the search results at the bottom, not the inputs at the top.

Bounty to the first person to explain why this is happening and provide a fix.

I was only able to reproduce it in a chromium based browser. I don't have a fix, but the group search dropdown works fine in Firefox. So I guess you should look into browser js implementation differences or something like that.

Have you opened the developer console and looked at the timeline? Usually this is due to an unnecessary coupling between page elements.
