When typing in url bar in new tab, first few characters of url get deleted #3756
Comments
Seconding this, I've been having this exact same issue for the last couple days as well! |
cc: @rebron |
seeing this happen when you start typing before the new tab page image is loaded. Its deleting the characters typed before the image load started |
I'm also seeing this. As mentioned by srirambv, I believe it is the new tab page loading that clears out the address bar. As a workaround, installing an extension to change the new tab page seems to work. |

For me, this appears to occur only when the tab immediately to the left of the new tab has a page already loaded. If creating a new tab from a blank new tab page, I don't experience this issue. |
This needs to be fixed very quickly, it is very irritating. I have to wait for a few seconds everytime after opening new tab. |
+1 from @servetcoskun via #3835 |
@bsclifton sorry about duplicate, I searched for similar issues and was not able to find this one, my bad! @andsnw +1 for that very accurate and descriptive explanation, much better than mine :) |
@servetcoskun no worries- that's why I'm here 😄 Help guide folks to the right place, make sure we at Brave know what the important issues are |
Sorry, but is there any news on this? This is detrimental to UX by the minute. |
Also cancels custom search engine searches on address bar |
@ravihlb can confirm it does the same for me. Atleast it is contained to dev version :) |
I just realized that an extension that modifies the new tab page is a simple and very functional workaround. |

Priority P1 please!! |
+1 Same issue. Came here for this exact problem encountered recently but had enough today. |
Three +1's from Community (three different users in thread): |
This is an upstream bug, fixed here. |
Yep but upstream didn't port the fix to Chromium 74, so we did that. It'll be available in our 0.63.x which is Chromium 74 based. |
Issue persists: Version 0.64.56 Chromium: 74.0.3729.75 (Official Build) dev (64-bit), are people not having this issue since its closed? If yes, please consider reopening the issue. |

Having this very issue. Extremely annoying. Any fixes yet? |
You can download an RC for 0.63.x from Github or wait for the release coming very soon. |
Having this issue as well. Very frustrating. Surprised to see this issue open for so long. |
Not sure why this issue was closed, still is persisting. |
@jayneyer It's apparently been fixed already, just not released. See #3756 (comment) |
The fix has been released now, if I'm not mistaken |
As @FWDekker shared, fix has been released with 0.63! 😄 Please grab a copy and let us know if this still happens |
With Version 0.65.78 Chromium: 74.0.3729.108 (Official Build) dev (64-bit), I do not have the problem anymore. Good job guys. |
It appears this problem has returned in: |
And here we are in 2024, and this issue is still randomly happening. I haven't been able to nail down the steps to reproduce. I have the latest version of Brave on Windows 11, and when I type any search text in the address bar, letters get replaced or just removed. I can't help but to suspect some hidden keylogger embedded in Brave. |
Description
When trying to navigate to a url in a new tab, midway through typing the url, the whole address will get selected automatically, deleting the first few characters as the user continues typing. The auto select bug only occurs on the first time trying to type a url in a new tab.
Steps to Reproduce
Open a new tab, start typing a URL. Midway through, the auto complete will highlight the whole input, and thus interrupt the correct address
Actual result:
I begin typing
brave.com
. After I typeb
, the url bar auto selects the whole address which interrupts the full url.Expected result:
Does not auto select the whole text midway through typing.
Reproduces how often:
Happens very often. Almost every new tab after switching from existing.
