Status: Untriaged (was: Unconfirmed)
Able to reproduce this issue on Mac 10.12.5, Win-10 and Ubuntu 14.04 using chrome reported version #60.0.3112.40 and latest canary #61.0.3144.0.

This is a non-regression issue as it is observed from M45 old builds. 

Hence, marking it as untriaged to get more inputs from dev team.

Thanks...!!

1. This ugly behavior is annoying me too. Instead of filling the search box with a highlighted text on a page it shows a previous searching string or empty in the search box. I have to do a lot of actions to reach wished thing: copy a text, then CTRL+F and paste a text.

2. I would like to get a history for the search box, at least for last 10 searched strings.
