I agree this is annoying, but probably not very common.

Definitely want to fix, but no time for it right now.

Marking as P3.

Possibly related to the overflow menu -- like the search bar reinits itself when it's moved to the overflow menu and/or when it moves back to the navbar.

This is an old regression
