Q: Search bar doesn't hide after pressing return + strange graphics error

Every time I search for something with google search, the Bookmars and History window remains active after pressing return to start the research.

The only way to make it disappear is to click somewhere in the screen and this is very frustrating.

The issue appears only in full screen mode and only with google and duckduck go engines. Seems it do not happen with bing and yahoo.

 

I've this problem since the first release of El Capitan and now I'm using 11.10.4 public beta. I tried clean install, resetting all preferences files, cleaned my keychain access certificates, disabling all options in Safari -> Preferences -> Smart Search Field, but always no luck.

 

Moreover yesterday I noticed that every time I click on a url or if I change tab, in console appears  this error message:

 

_CGXRemoveWindowFromWindowMovementGroup: window 0x60 is not attached to window 0x6e

 

I sent a feedback to Apple but they never resolved this issue. I hope someone have a sort of workaround! Thanks

JP

    Go step by step and test.

     

    1. Disable Extensions and test.

     

        Safari > Preferences > Extensions

     

        Uncheck boxes beside “Enable Extension”  and test.

        Enable Extensions one by one and test.

        To uninstall any extension, select it and click the “Uninstall” button.

     

    2. Delete Caches

     

        Close all windows and quit all applications.

        Hold "option" key down and click "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.

        Select "Library" from the dropdown.

     

        Library > Caches > com.apple.Safari

        Right click the com.apple.Safari file and select "Move To Trash.

     

     

    3. Delete com.apple.Safari.plist file and test.

     

     

        Empty the Trash.

        Quit all applications.

        Hold the option key down and click the "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.

     

        Select "Library" from the drop down.

     

        Library > Preferences >  com.apple.Safari.plist

        Right click on it and select "Move it to Trash".

        Restart.    Relaunch Safari.

     

        If this doesn’t help, “Put Back” the com.apple.Safari.plist

     

        Right click on  the Trash icon in the Dock and select “Open”.

        Right click on the com.apple.Safari.plist and select “Put Back”.

    UP: the issue is definitely related to iCloud. I set up a new iMac with the same account the same identical problem started.

    Still not able to fix it..

    Nothing to do with iCloud: I've  tested it on in-store Macs and they have this problem too.
