Which filter did you create for blocking this element?

I could reproduce this in Chrome on Mac as well. I had to first block the whole screen iframe and then could block the search box. When I then refreshed the search box was displayed again.

  • Resolution set to duplicate
  • Status changed from new to closed

Blocking the search box actually works fine. However if you first block that overlay, following invalid filter (which misses escaping) is added, and breaks every other element hiding filter in the same chunk, too:

www.tv.com###google_ads_iframe_/8264/aw-tv/home_3

Beside the steps to reproduce are incomplete, this is a duplicate of #1395.

The escaping issues have been fixed with #1527.
