Ah, looks like similar issue to #72298. The root cause of this is that searching for a common block name such as Paragraph is really taxing since Gutenberg 15.1.x introduced some weird behavior for the search results.

See WordPress/gutenberg#48085 for more information.

Frequency should reduce as older branches without the fix (#73561) get merged or abandoned.

Anecdotally, I haven't seen this pop up recently. Closing as resolved.
