Change white-space filtering in text input fields for DNA Sequence search and Feature Search

[Don-Isdale]

Introduction

When using the Search components in the left panel, in particular 'DNA Sequence Blast Search' and 'Feature Search', the user enters text into a text area input, which dynamically removes white-space after each user edit and key-press. User feedback is that doing this after each edit and key-press is too aggressive and sometimes makes it hard to work with. The suggested alternative is to use standard text input, and instead strip white-space after Search is clicked, rather than while still inputting.

Changes

• strip white-space after Search is clicked, instead of trimming white-space after each user edit and key-press
• trim trailing spaces after the gene name
• apply this to 'DNA Sequence Blast Search' and 'Feature Search'
