Is this the only search box that has this problem?
And in which version of MuseScore did this work correctly?

I can reproduce this issue using the Japanese IME on macOS 13.6.9, but not on Windows or Linux. This also happens in other text fields, such as in the New Score Wizard and Properties panel. It worked correctly until version 4.3.2.

I've noticed that removing focus from the application and then returning to it sometimes resolves the problem temporarily.

Hm. This must be a Qt bug. If I search for "IME" or "Japanese" in their bug tracker, a lot of issues show up; some have been fixed, others are still open. It's difficult to say which Qt issue exactly this is related to, though. In a few weeks, we will have nightly builds that use Qt 6.8, so once those are available, you can try if that fixes it.
