Safari search bar doesn't lose focus on Enter

When I'm searching something using Safari's search bar, the search bar doesn't lose the focus when I hit Enter, so the suggestions shows up again.

Has someone else had this problem? Is there a way to fix this? I'm using Safari 10 on macOS Sierra.

Solution 1:

Unfortunately this is one of the small unnoticed things that I accepted to live with. This issue has been going on for years.

I tried to bypass the issue by installing an extension from the safari extension gallery that performs searches and those work for some time and the issues ultimately comes back again.

Edit:

As of Safari 13.0.1 in macOS Catalina, I don't experience that bug anymore, seems good so far
