      They fixed that in the snapshots already.

      For now, just make the selection in the dropdown and add a space to the end before hitting Enter.

        Yes, that is what I'm doing when I remember. It is annoying because it breaks routine.
        But if it is fixed in the snapshots that's really good news. It persisted over many updates so I thought bringing it to attention might sensible. I think there was a phase some months ago where it submitted the full string, but retained only the typed string in the search box. (also not the behavior I would prefer).

        But thank you for this information, maybe I will try using the snapshot-channel again, or just wait until the fix makes it into stable.

          In the newest snapshot (2.4.1476.4 (Offizieller Build) (64-Bit)) it's broken again in a new way: now there is no way of selecting and submitting a suggestion using only the keyboard. It just isn't transferred to the search-box.

              @iAN-CooG Same in 1483.4. Can we assume this is known? I see no mention of it in the latest blog, even in comments.

                  Somehow, this fix sneaked into the final 2.4 build (correction: it's actually the first 2.5 snapshot!). They had fixed the original problem some weeks back, but this new variant (no keyboard) was still there earlier this week.

                  So, does anyone see anything else wrong in this area?

                    @rseiler search box now works on 2.5 snapshot, including shift-del for removing old searches; Down+enter sends correctly the suggestion to the search engine.
                    On the address bar dropdown tho, shift-del is still not working, only the "X" icon can be used with mouse to delete old typed entries.
                    The 2.4 release could have been delayed some hours and presented publically after including these fixes, but it's not my problem anymore, as I found the 2.5 snapshot announcement even before being able to test 2.4 ๐Ÿ˜‰

                      This is still/again broken. Now arrow keys are ignored if Num-Lock or Caps-Lock is active.

                      Why is this such a huge problem to fix?

                        Ah so it's due to NumLock being active, I see. I couldn't understand why someone else said Down Arrow worked for selecting engine. At least now I know :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_closed_eyes:

                        With NumLock on you can actually press Shift+Down Arrow to get the history and Tab will select. But it should be Arrow keys. And still can't delete entries with keyboard.

                        Also I believe the best would be to have Down Arrow to select history, and Shift+Down Arrow to select engine. Because using search history is usually the most common thing done, while selecting active engine is rarer.
