URL disappears when clicking address bar

Description of the issue:
URL disappears when clicking address bar.

How can this issue be reproduced?

1. Click on the URL on the address bar.
2. URL disappears.

Expected result:
URL remains and is automatically entirely highlighted for the user to do whatever he wants, such as copying the URL, correcting a typo in the URL, or deleting the entire URL by entering a new URL manually.

i’m seeing the exactly the same behavior, the work-around to copy the URL to the copy/paste buffer:

• Click triple dots/hamburger then the “Share icon” (less than with circles at vertex and ends).
• Click “Copy Icon” (two pieces of overlapped “paper”)

It’s the search option bug. It has been off since last few versions. This time it totally broke it.
If you turn off “Show browser suggestion” this address URL will be empty when you turn off. However; if you turn this on, it fixes it. But I would like to turn it off. Brave Please fix!

Sorry for being an idiot and not being able to find things, but where is the “Show browser suggestion” feature?

i think they’re referring to “show browser suggestions” in settings>search engine however this didn’t work for me. ive had the same issue since the latest update

to copy the URL of the page you’re viewing, you don’t have to press share. if you open the address bar, the button to copy is next to share
