[Bug 2085726] [NEW] Emoji picker freezes when trying to search or switch categories

[Guruprasad]

Public bug reported:

When I use the emoji picker by pressing Super + . and type to search
emojis or click to a different category on the left sidebar, the app
freezes and becomes unresponsive for many seconds before becoming
responsive and the next operation (for example, when I type the next
character) causes a similarly long freeze, thereby making the
application unusable.

This is happening every time on Kubuntu 24.10 (upgraded from 24.04) with
Wayland.
