Unable to use space bar - and what is that oval around my back button?

Today when I typed something in the search bar, I was suddenly unable to use the space bar. When I pressed space, the safari side screen appeared with an oval around the icon in the corner. If I continued to try and use space, the oval moved to my back browser button. Changing the tab option in settings as per a previous users question didn’t fix the problem.

iPad, iPadOS 14

The second last tab to the right keeps disappearing in Safari 15 After upgrading Safari 15 this started happening. There's a gap where there's suppose to be one tab. If I ctrl(+shift)+tab I can navigate to the missing tab but I can't click it with the mouse.

Text disappears in address bar Hello! When typing a url in the browser bar on Safari, the text disappears within a few seconds. Even when I am not finished typing the address. I have read that the culprit could be extensions in Safari. I do not have any Extensions. Any other ideas?
