After clicking on a link in Google's search box or using the back button, to return to the previous page, the Google search box is blank.

To restore the contents I need to "refresh" the page.

This is very irritating when I want to revise the search wording.

I am not using any add-ons, except Flash if that is an add-on. Otherwise the browser is factory default.

This is a fairly recent problem (for maybe the past 2 months or so). It never happened before.

Correction, it happens AFTER I use the back button to return to the previous Google page or going forward to more Google pages for the same search.

You can try to disable Google Instant via the Google Settings page.
