[Toolbar Redesign] - Can't type Chinese/Japanese in search bar

[tzing]

Steps to reproduce

1. Click the search bar, the keyboard will pop up and let me type something to search
2. Click the keyboard

Expected behavior

A placeholder should appear on the search bar, for key-in the characters.

I'm using iOS built-in Bopomofo keyboard to type Chinese. With this input method, we type the alphabets first and the input method will help to combine them into Chinese character. Since it is possible to have multiple characters map to the same alphabet combination, there exists a special state in input method, let us chose the character.

The expected behavior is like:

1. I click the alphabets on keyboard
2. A placeholder appear and holds the alphabets
3. After a proper combination is prepared, the input method converts it into character

Actual behavior

Nothing happen. No placeholder, no character appears.

Note that Japanese input methods has the same issue. I tried Kana keyboard. I also can't type anything on search bar.

Some related context

I think this bug is only on the search bar.

• Typing in the web page is okay
• Typing using english keyboard on search bar is okay
• Typing using emoji keyboard on search bar is okay

Device & build information

• Device: iPhone 16 Pro / iOS 18.2 / Built-in Bopomofo keyboard
• Build version: 133.4
• First seen version: Not checked; But roughly this week (~2024-12-24)
