Tabbing from URL box to search box should NOT highlight the search engine dropdown

  1. Enable the search box to the right side of URL box in browser UI.
  2. Open new tab (empty URL box).
  3. Press TAB.
  4. The search engine SELECTOR becomes highlighted, instead of the search INPUT.
  5. Web application software developer is blocked from typing search query right away.
  6. Must press ANOTHER TAB.
  7. This breaks the workflow. It never used to do this, you could type immediately after tabbing ONCE.
  8. Search is disabled in URL box to facilitate local domain resolution/error and NOT trigger fallback searching.

Please revert the behaviour to normal, and make the single TAB operation focus on the search INPUT.
