Google search bar text showing up as dots?

[jewjitsu]

Every time anything is put into the google search bar it shows up as dots. Did I accidentally turn on a setting?

I have an Evo 4G and was using the regular browser in case that helps.

google search bar - dots instead of text

Hi,

I'm facing the exact same issue with my HTC inspire 4G.

The bug happened yesterday and only affects Google mobile homepage.
As soon as I send a search request then the Google search bar works fine.

Any fix please ?

Thank you.

Hi jewjitsu

Just to let you know , this issue has been fixed by the Google team. So the issue has nothing to-do with your device but comes from Google end.
You just have to clear you cache and your cookies in your browser settings.
Then refresh Google.com or Google.com/m and that's it

Cheers,

Mine cleared up last night, on its own. Glad it wasn't HTC, I like their phones.
