Please can you track this regression on bugzilla with replication
instructions? I haven't heard about this bug and it sounds like
something that could easily be taken care of. A trello card seems
overkill.

Done. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73632

The Trello card is more focused on visible outlining of the search input field should the device width exceed the CSS min width, and what to do when the magnifying glass is tapped but no results are turned up (e.g., unintentional or mistyped search).

Yeh there is a bug [1] and it's fixed in alpha. We'll have to find a
way of accelerating the alpha login form into stable for opera mini
users as unfortunately we hit some unexpected roadblocks around the
login form.

Please do let me know if/how I can assist. If the roadblock is expected to persist, I would like to get in some sort of interim fix at least.

Thanks!
