Typing in the Dropbox mobile app's search bar stops mid word on iPad
I am currently using the app on my iPad 11 inch Air M3 using OS18.6.2. Every time I try to type in the search bar it lets me write one or two letters/numbers and then stops even though I am still typing. I have to keep clicking on the bar to continue typing…
Im using the most up-to-date version of the app as there is no option to upgrade on the App Store.
Any thoughts?? Its very annoying as I use the search bar all day!

Can you share with me where you're searching? Is it within a folder, in a file, etc? A screenshot might help if it doesn't include anything you do not wish to share.
