      Issue Summary

      We received a report from a customer about the "Search" functionality on the Desktop app no longer working as expected. The search field doesn't appear when they press the keyboard shortcut CTRL+F (or Command+F on macOS) to search for something on the Desktop app. However, refreshing the page will make the search field appear on the screen. 

      Despite being able to bring up the "Search" field by refreshing the page, it doesn't seem to work as expected due to a CSS ruleset that prevents the user from selecting the option to go to the next item results of the search or to close the search itself.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Open the Desktop app
      2. Press the keyboard shortcut Command + F on macOS or CTRL + F on Windows
      3. You'll notice the search field won't show up on the screen. 
      4. Refreshing the page will result on the search field showing up

      Expected Results

      Pressing the keyboard shortcut for the search functionality should bring up the search field on the screen, and allow users to search for items on the page. 

      Actual Results

      Pressing the keyboard shortcut for the search functionality doesn't bring up the search field on the screen, preventing users from searching items on the page. 

      Workaround

      Pressing CMD + F, and then refreshing the board by pressing CMD + R will allow users to regain access to the search functionality. Alternatively, users can use the filter functionality. The filter can be opened by clicking on the "Filter" option on the board, or by using the keyboard shortcut "F".
