Tab search dropdown partially appears on the left in Full Screen mode

[Quixot1k]

Description

Search Bar at a really wrong place that you can barely see the whole of it while canceling 'Always Show Toolbar in Full Screen'

Steps to Reproduce

1. Uncheck Always Show Toolbar in Full Screen to hide toolbar in Full Screen mode.
2. Enter Full Screen Mode
3. Shift + Command + A (Open Search Tab) and notice that Tab Search menu is on the left side of screen and should be on the right side.

Brave version (brave://version info)

Brave | 1.34.80 Chromium: 97.0.4692.71 (Official Build) (arm64) Revision | adefa7837d02a07a604c1e6eff0b3a09422ab88d-refs/branch-heads/4692@{#1247} OS | macOS Version 12.1 (Build 21C52)

Other Recommendation(s):

Since you can open Search Tabs by Shift+Command+A, you should also make it possible to close it by this shortcut which I think is better than hitting 'ESC'.

I have this issue too, but per a suggestion from the community thread above, it does work correctly in the guest profile. Worth noting that in my problem profile, if I turn on vertical tabs then it works fine, when I turn vertical tabs off again, it is broken again and appears off screen to the left like the OP.

After tinkering with other settings: I just fixed it by toggling the "show tab search button" (brave://settings/appearance). It works now with that feature either off OR on. Previously it was initially off.

Although, I just had it happen again after I opened a new window. And the toggle "show tab search button" trick worked again, but it appears to happen again for each new window. So not actually resolved, but it is a workaround.

Edit: still broken after a brave://restart but the toggling workaround still works

(I'm not having this specific issue, but) Is there a way to change the position of the tab search to either left or right? Maybe a beta feature?

Or is it only currently possible to have the Tab Search button appear on the right side?

Chrome has it on the left side and I sorta prefer that.

I recommend opening a new support request for your question.
