Why is my iPhone Google search page like this?

iPhone 4 and I use Atomic Web Browser. My Google page has over the past few days started looking like this :-

When you try and type anything into the search box you can't see what you are typing because of the size of the box, it only shows a few letters at a time.

Any ideas?. :confused:

Does it happen with Safari? If it doesn't then I suggest uninstalling Atomic Browser and re-installing it.

Its a bug with the 3rd party browser you are using. Probably the way it handles tabs and the way google is set to render on mobile devices.

Does Atomic Browser have some sort of user-agent spoofer setting? Looks like you're getting the desktop-formatted version of the page and Atomic isn't doing a great job at handling it. The mobile site should look like the first screenshot below, and the desktop site like the second screenshot:

Thanks guys, that was it - The browser was being identified as Mobile Safari - iPad. Can't remember changing anything in the settings after the last update but I've set it to "Safari Desktop" and it's working fine. However, if I set it to "Default - Mobile Safari" it still borks as the picture previously posted. Weird.

Well there you go

A simple setting did the trick.
