**Briefly describe (1-2 sentences) the Bug you’re experiencing**: When I try to search in the search bar, the letters are jumbled and not in the correct order, therefore you cannot use the search bar to find the task you’re looking for.

**Steps to reproduce** : Go to search bar, type in field.

**Browser version** : Chrome.

**What version of Asana are you using (Basic/Premium/Business/Enterprise)**? Business

HI @Riley_Higgins sorry to hear about this trouble. Can you confirm if the issue persists in a different browser or in an incognito window? Are your colleagues experiencing the same issue?

This is also happening for me in Chrome but NOT in incognito mode. It also does not happen in Safari. And it’s not necessarily jumbled, it’s just all backwards. The input cursor remains at the front of the text field as text is entered in, adding letters to the front rather than the end of the line of text.

@Riley_Higgins In case you have not already tried, I just cleared my cache and signed back in and the search text is no longer entering backwards.

Hi @Riley_Higgins and @Alison_Voghel! It looks like other users were also experiencing this issue, but it seems to have been solved. Let us know if it happens again!
