About every other time I go to use it, Command Search will gray itself out and I have to wait for my cursor to stop spinning/the application buttons to become active again.

I have no idea what this is about, but I've tried a fresh install and the problem just comes back. I've also noticed that when it's collapsed into a magnifying glass, it requires two clicks to work - you have to click once to open it, and again to start typing. It would make a lot more sense if I could just click and start searching consistently. There doesn't seem to be any reason as to when it collapses into a magnifying glass and when it stays open; there is room in my maximized window for it to stay open, but it goes back and forth. I would prefer if it would just stay in its collapsed icon until clicked, and stayed in one spot aligned right.
