Emoji autocomplete sorting is not temporally consistent after full match.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Type out one of the problem emoji listed below except for the last colon :grinning
  2. Notice how the autocomplete is sorted as expected
  3. Type the final ending colon :grinning:
  4. Notice the first result is no longer the direct match and instead shows some other emoji with similar names

I haven't nailed down the exactly why it occurs but it's something about emoji which have aliases or other emoji names which are shorter/higher priority and sort higher.

:+1: :grinning: :heart:
:o: :hand: :man: (:man:_beard: broken syntax tracked by #19304)
chrome_2021-10-05_16-07-32

Expected

The emoji autocomplete sort is the same before and after typing the final ending colon :. And shows the direct match as the first result.

Other notes

The mismatch does not happen with :sweat:, :monkey:, :boat:, :mailbox:, :cop:, :bow:, :kiss:, :golf: which seem like similar viable candidates but the sorting does change after you add the final end colon :.

Given you have to select the emoji in the emoji autocomplete, #7256, this bug makes it even harder to convert the emoji shortcode to Unicode emoji.

I think that another of my issues is either referencing or has this be a dup of it, but I think that issue was already closed on triage.

this is really annoying

emoji_b.mp4

the demonstrated case has been worsened since now the popup selector thingy only appears after typing the second (third if counting the colon) character, so it's impossible to work around to get the correct one.

I put together a PR that I believe resolves this issue. Would appreciate any thoughts or feedback or validation that people's issues are resolved by that PR.

* Revert "Use an improved regex that does not have have to iterate through the
entire string, and can just backtrack at most the last 2 characters."

This regex is very efficient, but requires a specific form of the emoji
shortcode that it is not clear is within our control. This is a restriction
that is not required by the technicalities of solving the bug this PR is
attempting to fix. (It requires that an emoji shortcode end with a colon.)

This reverts commit 220cb0e.
