Safari 26 compact view problems in Sequoia

[p33t3r]

I just installed 15.7 and Safari 26, and when I started everything up again I suddenly couldn't interact with the URL field in the compact tab view. The URL text isn't clickable or copyable, and I can't click on the X to close the tab or on any other icons in the URL field. When I switch to normal view everything works as it should.

Has anyone else seen this? Is this due to compact view not being available anymore in Tahoe?

Same problem. Apple, how did you manage to do that?
And strange circles.

Same on 14.8.

Same on 14.8.

That's odd, because for unrelated reasons I've had to get a new machine, and on this one, with 15.6.1 and Safari 26, the tabs work as they should. Are you on Intel or Silicon?

Same here (15.7), also can't close tabs by pressing the little x button. Definitely a bug so hopefully it will get fixed soon. I saw they removed the compact tab view entirely on Tahoe 🤬

For now use the following shortcuts: Command + W to close the current tab and Command + L to select the address bar.

I'm only seeing the issue when I have the tab layout set to compact (my preferred layout). Separate works as expected.
