ephemeral Trouble with switching layout

Hello. Found the problem: The search bar is cleared when switching layouts if I enter a query in two languages.

You mean changing keyboard layout language with Shift+Alt? It does clear text I type into the address/search bar when I press the key combo, so if you meant that, I can also reproduce it.

Hello. Yes, I'm talking about this problem.

Thanks for reporting this! It looks like I reset the UrlEntry when it loses focus:

...and changing layouts causes it to lose focus. I can revisit this and see what other browsers do.

I just realized this also happens when I alt+tab into another app and back, e.g. when I try to retype some search terms from somewhere (maybe a photo or other source without easy copy-paste).

I can revisit this and see what other browsers do.

Both Epiphany and Firefox keep the typed text, although they both stop showing suggestions etc, after I alt+tab away and back.
