Actually, it's a feature. :)  I already noticed it when I implemented
the note taking source.

When you hit TAB then practically a new anything selection is started
and the value of anything-sources is replaced with a temporary source
which contains the possible actions, so you can also select an action
by typing a part of its name.

If the pattern were not cleared then no action would be displayed,
because there is a good chance the current pattern didn't match any of
the listed actions.

It's a problem for those cases where the pattern itself is actually
the input (not the selected candidate). I'll think about it how it
should be fixed.
