When selecting an autocomplete suggestion (e.g., after typing #), the Textcomplete plugin triggers the context() and search() functions twice instead of once. This results in unexpected double workflow cycles.
Root Cause
In @textcomplete/textarea, the applySearchResult function internally uses the update package to update the text content. The update function already dispatches a native input event after applying the change.
However, immediately after that, applySearchResult dispatches another input event manually:
This results in two input events for a single action — triggering duplicate plugin workflows.
Fix
Commented out the redundant input event dispatch in applySearchResult. This avoids firing duplicate input events and ensures only one workflow/search cycle is triggered after selecting a suggestion.
