Error while using scanner as input source

[RicardoFazzi]

I went crazy with a co-worker trying to find out what is happening that remote search is not triggering when I use a scanner to input some text.

It is working just fine when I use paste or when I input some text but if I use a scanner or just type too fast, the remote search isn't working.

I'm using Angular 7 and ng2-completer 3.0.2

I've debugged the lib and realized that searchTimer is being clear before it can actually do the search

this.searchTimer = timer(this.ctrListPause).pipe(take(1)).subscribe(function () {
                _this.searchTimerComplete(term);
            });

searchTimerComplete is the method that never gets reached because I think the searchTimer is being clear... and I think this can be because input get entered too fast, and if the term.length is < minLengthBeforeSearch then, the clear is programed for execution 50 ms after that line was read, so, I think for the time I finish scanning the code, it is already some clear schedule.

The question is.. using scanner is not the same as using copy & paste. What can I do to sort this problem?

This is my ng2-completer:

  <ng2-completer fxFlex
    [disableInput]="disable"
    [autoMatch]="autoMatch"
    [datasource]="dataServiceRemote"
    [placeholder]="placeholder"
    [(ngModel)]="model[titleField]"
    [minSearchLength]="minSearchLength"
    [inputName]="inputName"
    [textNoResults]="textNoResults"
    [textSearching]="textSearching"
    [pause]="0"
    [fieldTabindex]="fieldTabindex"
    (selected)="onSelected($event)">
  </ng2-completer>

And nothing change if I try with PAUSE=0, PAUSE=10 (default value), PAUSE=300, PAUSE=1000. searchTimerComplete never gets executed because the default value of CLEAR is 50, and the input from the scanner is just too fast!

I hope you can help me with any hint here!

Thanks in advanced
