Description
Expected behavior
When I search for eg "Android" in the Reader and I switch to "Sites" tab, it shows some results. I see the same results after I rotate my device.
Actual behavior
When I search for eg "Android" in the Reader and I switch to "Sites" tab, it shows some results. The results disappear after I rotate my device - empty result screen is shown.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Open Reader
- Click on Search
- Type "Android"
- Press "Done"
- Switch to "Sites" tab
- Notice there are results
- Rotate your device
- Notice the screen is empty
Tested on [device], Android [version], WPAndroid [version]
