Comment (by anadahz):

 > Do you have some steps to reproduce this bug report? I just entered
 "test" in the comment textbox and did a Ctrl+Z (aka Undo) but nothing
 happened. How can I see your issue.

 1. Press `Ctrl+l`, type `test` and press enter (by default this should
 query the default search engine for the string `test`)
 2. Press `Ctrl+l`, type `test2` and press enter
 3. Press `Ctrl+l`, type `test3` and press enter
 4. Press `Ctrl+l` and `Ctrl+z` (only) consecutive times to reveal the
 previous searched queries: `test`, `test2` and `test3`.

 > In general, though, as long as you are in the same session and did not
 request a "New Identity" I think this is not unexpected.

 That is what I also thought that is an expected behavior, ideally it will
 be good to have a "always forget my previous history during an active
 session" config option.
