This was a feature initially, I wanted to have it so you could press backspace 
and get back to a list with some entries, but if you pressed two incorrect 
characters it went away.  I think I talked with one of the other kate devs 
about this.  Unfortunately I never got around to writing it as I was busy at 
the time.

Regardless, should be an easy fix if we want.
