Describe the issue:

See the attached screen capture video
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4ae480d2-e480-41f6-9c85-fe8e9c9ee4d9

In this video I invoke history search, I type f (which works) then delete that, then I type z (which works) then delete that, then I type p. On p, the history search window closes and the most recent line of history is returned -- in the case of the screen capture that is a blank line.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. In the console, type ctrl+r to initiate history search
2. Type the letter p or P

Were there any error messages in the UI, Output panel, or Developer Tools console?

No

UPDATE: Also with the letter n

I can reproduce this. Very likely caused by the custom Ctrl N and Ctrl P handling done in the Console to support up/down navigation via readline shortcuts. Thanks for reporting!
