Hello all

This doesn't appear to be causing any issues but is a little odd. In Safari prefs the icon for the search tab is 'wrong' - it's green, aliased and rotated (or possible squashed in the y-axis). Anyone got any ideas what's happened here?

This is Safari 13.0.4 and the only extensions I'm running are 1Password and Grammarly.

What are the settings for Grammerly? Does it offer search suggestions? Can you disable to test? You may need to restart Safari.

I just installed 13.0.4 on my MBair, and have the original "magni-find" glass, so that has to be a plug-in effecting the icons.
Safari is still a bit slower than edge chromium.

I installed Grammerly to see what appeared, my icon for search is unchanged and the icon you have is NOT Grammerly. I'm thinking something else is going on. Grammerly is a service that checks for spelling and grammar errors in what you type. It is widely used and not harmful at all. Sometimes annoying, like someone who is constantly checking what you say, but not malicious in any way.

Did you download Grammerly or or is it something you needed to get from the macOS App Store?

I would have to guess some kind of issue with a cache (icon, system, safari, user?). Not sure where exactly to start. If restarting Safari or the Mac itself doesn't fix it, running Onyx' tools should do the trick.

Grammarly is in the app store, although I got it directly from Grammarly.com. Basically it checks all writing you do for grammar errors, including posts in websites, and can suggest corrections when the grammar or spelling is not optimum. it works pretty well and doesn't cost anything for the basic functions, which is all I need at the moment.

Did you ever figure it out?

I have the same problem, and your post seems to be the only mention of it on the web.

I don't have any extensions.

Have you tried anything yourself yet? I would first run the cache cleaning tools in Onyx to see if that fixes it. If that doesn't work, download and install the latest Combo Update for whatever version of macOS you are running.

If that fails, restart in Safe Mode to see if the problem persists even in that mode.
