simple steps to cause newbin to hang from search tab

[patrick_visniewski]

I've noticed on an off when newbin would completely lock up on me.
If there were downloads, they seemed to continue, but the UI would stop responding and never recover even after waiting a few hours.
I finally decided to see if this was random or reproducible. So after the most recent occurrence I tried to reproduce the steps.
It turns out for me at least this hang is 100% reproducible
The most recent version that I can reproduce this on is 6.41build 2123 x64

1: go to the search tab
2: click in the main search text field
3: enter any text
4: use TAB to switch focus to the groups/folders drop down (do NOT use the mouse)
5: use up and down arrows to hi-light a group/folder
6: hit enter

At this point your NB UI should freeze.

You might be able to reproduce this just by setting focus on the groups drop down, then using arrows to select and hitting enter, but I haven't tried this yet.
