Clear browsing data shortcut bug

Description of the issue: “Clear browsing data” shortcut (Shft+Ctrl+Del) does not bring up proper UI.

How can this issue be reproduced? Press Shft+Ctrl+Del --> which opens to top of settings page but no secondary splash UI to make selection.

Expected result: Settings page + splash UI to select categories to clear.

Also, when I navigate to “brave://settings/clearBrowserData” or use the appropriate shortcut, the “Clear browsing data” does seem to appear AFTER clicking on “Additional settings” option in the left hand side menu.

Hi @als, welcome to Community!

This is interesting. I can reproduce the issue on Nightly. On Release there is no issue.
Thank you for letting us know. I’ll pass it onto the team.
