Issue Summary
The Live Search macro does not respect the Size = Large parameter. The search input renders at the width of the placeholder text instead of expanding to the full Large width. Typed text is clipped/cropped on the left side. Size = Medium works correctly.
This is a regression of the fix previously delivered for:
- https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-77894 — Live search macro renders its size according to the Search bar text, instead of considering its Size parameter (Resolution: Fixed)
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a new Confluence Cloud page
- In the editor, type /live search → insert the Live Search macro
- In the macro configuration panel, set Size = Large, Placeholder = Search (default)
- Publish the page
- Observe: the search bar renders at the width of the placeholder text, not the Large size
- Type text into the search bar — the first character(s) are clipped/cropped on the left
Expected Results
The search input should expand to the full Large width as specified by the Size parameter, and all typed text should be fully visible without clipping.
Actual Results
- The search input width is determined by the placeholder text length, not the Large size parameter
- Typed text is cropped on the left side
- Size = Medium renders correctly
Environment
- Reproduced across multiple browsers, users, and pages
- Reproduced in incognito mode
- Reproduced at multiple display resolutions and scaling levels
Workaround
Use Size = Medium, or set a longer placeholder text to force the input to render wider.
