STEPS TO REPRODUCE * open system settings * navigate to "Appearance → App theme" (German: "Erscheinungsbild → Anwendungs-Stil") * resize window so that sidebar is collapsed to one column and search field is hidden behind the "back" button * type something in the search box * click the "clear" button or clear the search field manually WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS The search field loses focus and the sidebar shows the sub-menu again. WHAT I EXPECTED TO HAPPEN The search field should have stayed focused to initiate another search. The main menu should be displayed below, with the "Appearance" item highlighted. When I click on the highlighted item, the sub-menu should show again.
