search/favorite bar broken? Theme glitch in dev branch?
Yes, I can confirm this has been working for a while. And also themes have definitely been more stable, they used to break between builds but with the most recent builds, themes have been consistent from version to version.
Hey there ekottawa, thanks for posting! This bug was caught in Canary, but the fix for it didn't quite make the cutoff for Dev this week. The fix is in 100.0.1161.0, which will move up to Dev next week. Most folks can also quickly fix this by uninstalling and reinstalling their theme, if you'd rather not wait for the next update.

Alexandra-R Thanks - looking forward for a fix on this one. Also the theme seems to break at every edge upgrade. Would you have any details on uninstall/reinstalling the theme? I can't see any place where I can uninstall a theme.
ekottawa Hey, friend! This should be resolved now. I saw a few people on Discord talking about this, and they were quite excited when they saw it fixed. Can you confirm that it's fixed for you now, too?

ekottawa "Also the theme seems to break at every edge upgrade." This is actually a larger issue that the team is aware of and trying to address, conversation is ongoing on that part!
As for this update, if you're using a theme from the Appearance page you can try switching to the default theme then back to your preferred theme, the uninstall/reinstall would be for themes from the web store -- should have clarified that, sorry about that! In either case, you should see your themes working as expected after the next update even if the 'workaround' doesn't fix this for you!
- Switching back to Default and to one of the standard themes (dark slate, moonlight glow, etc.) does not fix the issue. You have to stick with Default with no alternative options...
