RH2022 Searchbar isn't appearing correctly

I checked the user guide I’m working on against one that is 100% good; the values for the Searchbar are the same; however, I’m getting this:

...but when I click the Magnifying Glass, I get this:

...which is what I coded for in the first place, and works just fine, until I click outside of it, whereupon it goes back to image #1.

 

Any ideas?

Thank you,

Lon

    I’ve recently discovered that if I push the Transparency button all the way to the right to make an element “disappear,” it will stay in that position when I work on the Search Bar. Putting it back to the left fixed the problem. Thanks, guys...

    Logically it should be you have to click the glass on the left. However, logic doesn’t apply. It’s working as designed. How it works is changed in 2026 and the search bar can be permanent if you want.

    Same template? What values do you have in the preset?
