In previous releases of 3DX native apps, when you opened the compass side panel you could just start typing the name of an app and the apps list would filter down.  The app search / filter function was automatically "in focus" and active when the side panel was opened.  I personally used this a lot, as I find it easier to just type "part" or "shape", or "life" to quickly access the "Part Design", "Generative Shape Design", or "Collaborative Lifecycle Management" apps.  I last observed this behaviour back in R2019x.

Now, since R2021x at least, when you open the compass side panel you have to click the magnifying glass icon first before you can type to search / filter.  Why was this behaviour changed?  Is there any way to restore the previous behaviour?
