I am using Windows 8.1 with IE 11. Whenever I hit backspace in the Bing search bar it removes two characters. This happens

  • ONLY on the search bar (main page, top of search pages)
  • NOT on any other textbox on Bing or anywhere else

I have no trouble with Bing on Firefox/Windows 8.1 or with IE 10/Windows 8.0.

What is wrong? How do I fix it?

  • @chipperyman573 No. It only happens in Windows 8.1/IE 11 and only on the Bing search bar. I cannot get it to happen anywhere else. Jul 28, 2013 at 23:47
  • What are your regional settings? Have you changed these recently? Do you have more than one keyboard installed?

  • @RandolphWest I have not changed my regional settings (EDT, en-us), and I have only one keyboard, a Microsoft Sidewinder X4. Jul 30, 2013 at 0:23

Put bing.com in compatibility view settings, this solved the issue for me with bing.com in IE11.

  1. Go to bing.com
  2. Hit the alt key
  3. Select Tools
  4. Select Compatibility View settings
  5. Click Add

  • This worked. My concern is that Microsoft will finally fix Bing and then I'll still be using compatibility mode. But then again, I'll be upgrading to full 8.1 when it comes out, so I guess this is a non-issue. Thanks Do Kim! Jul 30, 2013 at 1:40
