This is the expected behavior.

Each search where an action is performed is added to the 'navigation history'.
There can be duplicates (not consecutive duplicates)
(empty) is an empty search.

For example, searching for a,b,c,a,b,c will show the history:
c
b
a
b
c
a



Is a visible limit needed here? (there is an internal visible limit of 1000)

I know the stock menus don't handle really long lists very well.
Implementing my own mousewheel-scrollable menus is on my TODO list.
