Google bar constantly disappears while typing

[Billy Smith 1]

It happens only with the Screen Search activated.
In other words, if your Google search app comes up with a transparent background so to be able to search for things underneath and give you answers about what you have there, well...what is typed in the first immediate 3/5 sec from Google app coming up it's all then deleted due a refresh of the screen when the Google app gives responso about what it's looking and seeing.
To avoid it there are 2 solutions:
1) disable the Google Screen Search function (but I really like it)
2) use a miraculous update from Google for its main search app that still has to come!!!



...or someone has found a solution??

I've been dealing with this for about a month. I found that if you stop the Google application, uninstall all updates for it, then reinstall them, it should work. Mine has been working without any problems since making that fix.

You know how the center button will bring up the Google search bar by holding it down for a few seconds? Now when i use it and I start typing into the search bar it just deletes whatever I'm typing and I have to start over. Like the search bar will stay on the screen but my text will disappear and the keyboard will close. This happened very sporadically at first but now is happening at least 50% of the time. It's extremely frustrating as I use this quick search feature constantly. Is happening to anyone else? Is there a fix?

I've cleared all data in Settings>Applications>Google App>Storage>Manage Space.
Warning : it resets widgets and app icon on home screen, but solved the issue on my phone.

The attached screenshot is what I get with home button. If I long press it no longer gives me screen related info but allow me to press "what's on my screen"

That's Google Assistant. It's not a bug, that's how it is supposed to look

It used to give me screen info just on long press
