Additional Information: I have a screenrecording but in some reason I cant upload it to anywhere, nothing works.

You should now be able to upload screen recordings here on Community – would be very helpful to see the recording.

In some reason I cant upload it, I tried but its stuck in processing upload.

Looks like Bottom Toolbar V2 is blocking the view, when I set this to default then I see the characters. When this flag is enabled then characters will be invisible.

You can always upload it to imgur.com and then share the link here (video should auto-embed when you insert the link).

I managed to upload it:

Temporary solution: turn off bottom toolbar v2 flag. When this flag is enabled it will block the characters from appearing in the omnibox.

Thanks for confirming and for uploading the video. Will let the team know about the flag, although I’m unclear about the plan for it is in general.
