Description

Expected behavior

When navigating through set parent searching, it is expected that X will clear the search text across configuration changes.

Actual behavior

Although X will clear contents after configuration change, a second configuration change causes the search query text to reshow

Steps to reproduce the behavior
  • Navigate to Site Pages
  • Tap on the action menu (3 vertical dots) & select “Set Parent”
  • Tap on search
  • Type some text so there is at least a single result
  • Rotate your device
  • Tap “X” - the contents clear
  • Rotate your device again
  • Search contents are still visible
Tested on [device], Android [version], WPAndroid [version]

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the Set Parent search flow on the feature branch feature/master-search-in-set-parent-page, following the listed rotation and clear steps. Trace how search contents are restored across configuration changes; done means the query remains cleared after a second rotation and the behavior is covered by the relevant Android test.
