Whenever I use the brave app it sometimes won’t let me tap on the address bar after a while. It doesn’t tell you anything either.

Description of the issue:

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Use the app for a period of time

  2. I have no idea how it happens

  3. Incognito might be to blame

Expected result: I should be able to use the address bar correctly

Brave Version( check About Brave):

Unfortunately this isn’t a lot of information to go on.

  • What specific Android device and Brave version are you using when you see this?
  • How often would you say this specific issue occurs?
  • When it does happen, how do you resolve it? Just relaunch the browser?
  • Does the issue occur when you’re on a specific site(s) each time or does happen regardless of what site you’re on?
  • Does it only happen in Private browsing?

I have a Samsung Galaxy A36 and I have Brave Version Brave 1.93.138.

I think this issue occurs about once a week.

When I get this error I get rid of the whole page entirely and relaunch the app.

It doesn’t matter which sites I go to. I get it where ever.

Whenever I stay in the regular page or private browsing it happens

Do you happen to have a particularly high number of open tabs and/or resource intensive tabs when you see this?

I usually have 4 tabs open on the main page.

Honestly there isn’t a ton to go on here. If I understand correctly, you’re saying that sometimes the browser won’t let you tap the address bar, but it only happens ~once a week and you’re not sure how to reproduce it?

It will be hard to diagnose/troubleshoot this issue going off just that information. Can you update to the latest build (1.94.117) and confirm if you’re still getting the issue?

I actually got the untappable address bar glitch twice in one day so it just shows up whenever it feels like it I guess. Also the latest Brave version is 1.94.117 and I have it.

I got the can’t tap address bar bug today tho.

My phone updates automatically and it happens randomly no matter what though

I have a feeling this might be an issue with your Android device rather than the browser. Do you see this happening when using other browsers and/or apps?

I don’t know but whenever I get it I tap on the search (magnifying glass) icon at the bottom it works again.
