The main search bar has broken spacebar text movement. On iOS you can hold spacebar to move cursor around text box. On the homepage search bar this works. But recently something broke it on the main search bar. Moving the cursor to the last few characters on the left side of the text bar using space causes it do disappear. See attached video.

    Also having this problem on Safari iOS 18.3.2. iPhone 15. My search bar is configured to be at the bottom of the screen.

      This is the same issue as 1759, I'm creating a new bug report as requested because it's still not fixed.

      In brief, holding down the space bar to move the cursor past the left/right edge doesn't work when the search text doesn't fit in the search box. Instead of moving the cursor, it switches to selecting text.

      Type something long in the search field so it scrolls past the left edge, then try to use the space bar to move the cursor back past the left edge.
