That search button works fine, you don't have the SearchBoxOnTaskbar enabled, which also enables the Options in settings.
That explains why you don't have the bug. If I disable that feature it work fine also in Safe Mode, tried in different systems, same results.
Hi fg,
I restored a backup with SearchBoxOnTaskbar enabled, this seems to confirm your findings.
Thanks.
