Search won't work on an Incognito tab, but works just fine in normal tabs

Description of the issue:
When I open a new incognito tab on brave nightly (version below), and just type something and hit enter, the browser will crash, however this is not the case when I search using a normal tab. I saw this issue on my MacBook as well.

EDIT 1: I tried using other search engines via the shortcut, like :br, It still crashed
EDIT 2: I have all flags set to default
EDIT 3 -

The command log (linux) just says this:

/usr/bin/brave-browser-nightly: line 48: 9933 Segmentation fault "$HERE/brave" "$@"

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Open brave-nightly (Use version 1.60.22)
  2. Open a new incognito window/tab
  3. Type something in the search bar
  4. Hit enter.

Expected result:
It should take me to my set search engine

Brave Version:
Version 1.60.22 Chromium: 117.0.5938.62 (Official Build) nightly (64-bit)

@Mattches I’m able to replicate this. Crash reports from when it happened to me are below. This is on the current version of Nightly, 1.60.22:

@itsnoone just a FYI for the future, any time you report an issue with the browser crashing, it’s helpful if you can share Uploaded Crash Report ID. You can get this at brave://crashes. If it says Send Now when you go there, you’ll have to hit that and close the browser for like 30 seconds to let it upload. Then when you go back, it will have it.

aah, i did try that, but didn’t close the browser… thx!

Yep I’m seeing this too — thank you for the report guys

Looks like it’s known and fixed in the next Nightly update:

works fine now! thx!
