Start by reproducing the failure from the Language settings section on the reported Mint and Cinnamon versions, focusing on both language installation and the disappearing search box. No source file or test is named, so locate the JavaScript implementation behind that settings section first. Done means languages can be added and downloaded, and the search box remains available during the operation.
