Safari address bar does not work

Same problem here – SO frustrating that once in, say Google, you can fill in the search bar once, but after that you can't type, highlight, delete a search entry. The curser doesn't work. You have to go back to Google in the top bar, rest it or quit out of Safari to enter another search. Pressing 'back' doesn't help either.

Unchecking 'Include Safari Suggestions' did not help me. Neither does unchecking 'Include safari suggestions' help.

I'm on Yosemite 10.10.5 and Safari latest version 9.0.3.

Apple, you REALLY need to sort this out.

This doesn't really solve anything to me at all... I mean, now I am able to type but when enter an URL or any text I press ENTER and nothing really happens, it doesn't take me to the webpage nor show me my search on Google.

After downloading the up dates for El Capitan,

Safari stopped working altogether, I now have the same problem but it has stopped crashing. Apple Chat support tell me they are working on the problem but couldn't say when these Safari issues will be resolved? They suggested I try to download another search engine but Safari won't stay open long enough for me to do that!

I had the exactly same problem from this morning as well! Thanks to Lauramarl's reply, it is working properly again. Very strange that quite a few people started to have the issue from similar time

Yip me too really annoying!!

Me too, though I ran the El Capitan update, too. No idea if that fixed it or not.

Apple are reported on The Guardian website as saying the problem is solved. Not for me. Has anyone else found it is fixed ?

Works fine for me, now.

Brilliant, glad you got it working ok. It was a frustrating glitch!

unchecking box worked for me thanks gabriele

Sorry but I have the same problem on an IMac, but all updated software.

I took all extensions, no success. When I installed a Malware (in my case Malwarebytes) I found some "unfriendly" stuff, deleted it and here we are. It work. Hope this may help you.
