Cannot search forum

When using the search box at the top of a forum section (not the top search box for comics), I get a browser alert that my changes will not be saved. Whether I click Leave or Stay, no search is done.

Hi there, sorry that you are having problems. Can you let me know if you are still having this problem?

If so, can you let me know:
Which device you are using (phone, tablet, pc)?
Which OS you are using?
and which browser you are using?

This information can help us to try to simulate the issue on our end and figure out what's going on. Thank you for your report!

Hi @ArtCrumbs,

Yes, I am trying again and it is still happening.

I am on a Windows 10 PC, tested in Google Chrome 115 (latest version), same Chrome in Incognito mode to discard session cookies that might interfere, MS Edge Chromium 115 (latest version), Firefox 114 (not the latest version, currently stuck updating itself).

Contrarily to what I said yesterday, clicking Leave does display the search results.

My guess is that since the search box is part of an html form element and the form does not get submitted with a submit button, there might be a sentry against leaving the page and the form "unsaved."

Also, my apologies for not posting this in the Bug forum, I was trying to search posts about cover images in this section when I encountered the issue, and I lost track of where I was.

Thank you!
