I have google as my homepage. Whenever I open safari and type in search criteria and hit enter... it "refreshes" the page and clears what I've written. The second time around always works. I don't understand what is happening. And it is not just when I open safari. I can go to google.com after posting on MR and type in the search box>hit enter>the page flashes as if I had hit the reset button and clears my text>type in the search box again>hit enter - and it works.

Thanks.

Here. I just made a screencast of what happens. Check it out after the jump.

Yeah, yeah double post. :rolleyes:
 
It is curious. I have never seen anything quite like that. When I press [return], I get the results of my Google search.
 
^ Yes, I meant return. (All those long miserable years on a PC:rolleyes:)
And YES, it is very annoying.

This has just recently started to happen to me too. I have no idea what is causing it.

Dangit!
Well let's narrow this down till we nail this bastard of a problem! lol.

Do you have a 27 iMac?
Do you always leave your Mac on and just let it sleep?
Is google your home page?
What is your ISP?
Does your google "bar" remain non-existant until your search results show up as well?
Uhhh.. IDK anymore Q's to ask, haha.

My friend just noticed it was saying https://www.google.com/ in the address bar, he took out the s and now it's fine. And it works fine every time I go back to google.com.

Interestingly enough... YOU ARE RIGHT!!! HOWEVER, whenever I go to the bar and type google.com it automatically takes it too https... is this my ISP? How can I change this?
 
Reset safari and ALL IS GOOD! THANKS! I love you will you marry me!?
