Safari Developer Tools ⌘F find won't let me go to next instance of a word in console.

I'm having trouble navigating to different instances of a word using ⌘F and ⌘G/⇧⌘G while inside of the console.

Simple example/steps to reproduce without needing to set up any environment:
  1. Go to a random website. Here's a page that you can use: Safari Web Inspector Console

  2. Open the Safari Dev Tools using ⌘I.

  3. Navigate to the "Console" tab.

  4. Log an object by using console.dir(Object).

  5. Inside the console, use the shortcut ⌘F (find) or put your cursor inside the search box.

  6. Search for something. For example, I searched for "function".

  7. Try navigating to the next instance of the word using ⌘G or by clicking on the right arrow next to the search bar.

After using ⌘G, you should notice that it locks up and does not navigate to the next instance of the word.

In specific, it seems to replace part of the word that I'm searching for with a chunk of a word that I used from my last session. For example, when I search for the "function," it replaces the word with "loc" because in my previous session, I searched for "location."

Hello elijahjg,

I was able to confirm that this is indeed buggy in Safari 14. We'll fix it in WebKit as soon as we can! Keep an eye out on the Safari Technology Preview release notes to get the fix soon after it's been integrated.

Thanks for your report!
