Since a few days (probably since updating to Hossa?) I can no longer focus the text input field at https://duckduckgo.com/ with sailfish-browser. Without text field focus, no keyboard is displayed, so I can no longer user DDG :-( and have to use other search engines or another browser. E.g. everything works fine when using Bing with Sailfish Browser, or using Webcat for Duckduckgo - so the issue seems to be specific to the combination of Sailfish Browser with Duckduckgo.

Of course I tried killing the browser and rebooting the phone, which did not help.

I have been able to reproduce this on Xperia X and Jolla Tablet (both Hossa).

Same here. Hint: Scroll down and then up again. Its really annoying, but then you can search...

btw: Not sure, whether it is a problem of the browser of or this version of SailfishOS.

same here since a couple of weeks ago. The trick with scrolling down and back up did not change the behaviour. I am using XA2 with Hossa

It seems that it hasn't been fixed in 3.1.0

Just updated to 3.2.0 and can't see an improvement in this issue.

as a workaround, you can set the default search engine to ddg and search via the adress bar. add them via this package. alternatively there's this handy tool to help adding search engines: SE manager

Thank you for the hint, that worked.
