This is not a security issue.

I can confirm this in 95. Chrome seems to clear the input box when the page is refreshed. I'm not sure what the right component is for this.

Maybe this is session restore? If I reload the page not using the cache via command-shift-r (on OSX) then the input box gets cleared.

Is this a change in behavior? I'm not sure.
