Hangs/glitches when quickly changing a library search

I've found that I frequently have hangs (of atleast 30 seconds, average of 90) when searching a Library of 30,000 songs on both OSX 10.5.6 and Vista SP1 (running all the 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2 nightly clients). I've pretty much narrowed this down to being an issue that happens when I have something already searched, I highlight the search, and then type in something else to replace it. Almost everytime I follow this method I will get a hang. However, if I highlight the search, erase it, and then search something else, Songbird will usually perform without a hitch.

Also, these hangs can have weird effects on playback. If a song finishes playing during the hang the next song will not begin to play, however when Songbird unfreezes it will be partway into whatever song was at the top of the search results (which are almost always incomplete searches because Songibrd tries to search and hangs before I can even finish typing). One time I did manage to complete the whole search query before the hang began, and when it unfroze it reported that it was playing the first song of the search results but it was actually playing the next song from the previous search results.

And it's not an add-on issue because I completely erased my previous Songbird install and still got the same problem with a fresh install.

I'd greatly appreciate it if some representative or atleast someone more knowledgeable about bug reporting than myself could enter this into Bugzilla because I'd rather not spam up Bugzilla with my own badly formed bug report.
