Same thing happens on Windows 11 22H2

It causes an explorer crash

EDIT

It seems t occur on any search string of substantial length of 32 or more characters.

 

EDIT 2

It would appear that when searching longer strings after a crash the search string text is drawn passed the carat. for example

Here is a long strin|g 

The carat appears visually before the g but logically it is not i.e typing continues from the correct position despite it looking like it would insert in front of the g. 

EDIT3

I was not able to cause the crash using a logical sentence but random garbage did. for example

"This is a very long string of text containing more than 32 characters" did not crash however

"blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah" did crash.

EDIT 4

Apparently the carat position bug is a separate issue even a reboot did not fix it. However it only occurs on my main display which is 150% DPI. on my other 2 that are 100% it does not happen. I had a similar issue with an IDE I maintain when using GDI scaling mode. I had to switch to per monitor V2 and handle font sizes myself to correct it. Perhaps I should make a separate post for it?

Thank you for the bug report.  We have reproduced it and fixed the issue internally so this should be fixed in v1.32 or higher once released.

This bug was fixed in the update today (1.36), however it is not mentioned in the release notes...

 

But this bug is STILL not fixed: Start11 Search Menu Blank Occasionally requiring reboot
