The search textbox on the package chooser page needs the same fix.

It's not immediately clear to me how to do this, since I don't know what the default pushbutton should be while the user is typing in the search box.

One possibility is to convert the label "Search" to the left of the box to a SEARCH pushbutton, whose effect is to call OnTimerMessage(). If we make this the default, then pressing Enter will cause the search filter to immediately take effect, which is probably what the user expects.

It seems a bit weird to have a button which automatically pushes itself half a second after you finish typing.

Attached is my attempt, which (ab)uses an invisible button.

I agree, this is better than my version.

Something like the attached?  This might not be quite right, because the previous default button is never restored.  I'm not sure how important that is.

I think it's something that should be done, if possible, so I added that.

In my testing, 'Next' does indeed become the default button after I click outside of the textbox, but there's no visual indication of this.

This is interesting: if you use TAB to move the focus out of the textbox, then first "Clear" gets highlight (because it's a pushbutton and enter pushes it), TAB again and "Current is selected (but "Next" gets the highlight, because that's what enter pushes)

If you click to move the focus, it only seems to update the highlight the second time you do that.

Which I guess suggests we should be ensuring the highlight is drawn on EN_KILLFOCUS?

But once I do that, it seems I need to explicitly remove as well, which gives the attached, incremental patch.

That seems to fix it.  Thanks.
