HTML appears in search box if <span> tag exists in list item and user navigates with Arrow Keys

[slindsey1986]

Hi! Can someone help me out with this issue?

If I add or any other HTML inside the Options populating my list, the regEx handles removing them for the most part except when using the up or down arrows on the keyboard. See screenshot above.

I have been pulling my hair out on this one for a few weeks and I am stumped.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
