Description
Expected behavior
When navigating through site 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 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]
Google Pixel 3XL
Android Version 10
