I can't edit an entry with Bing search engine in Safari

Using MacBook Pro, Mac OS 11.6, Safari version 14.1.2. When using the search box of Bing search engine in Safari, I am unable to edit an entry. If I type "mytop radar", instead of Hytop radar, when I position cursor to right of m and hit delete, the m is deleted and the cursor jumps to the end (far right) of the entry.

This doesn't happen with Google. And it doesn't happen with Bing on Firefox.

Just thought I'd pass that along.

I was having this issue and a quick search found a YouTube video that answered it.

To stop this happening, in bing settings, turn off search suggestions (menu bar too right, settings, more, scroll down to search suggestions and untick).

This fixed it for me

Are you sure? Apple announced they were "delaying" their plan to use it but I never saw that they revoked their plan to incorporate the software in the IOS 15 build.

Unfortunately it is only a temporary fix. There must be a permanent fix. It appears Apple has no fix.
