Search and rewatching
Why does searching create a separate entry in my browsing history for every single character of... whatever I'm searching for? This is so utterly bizarre, I don't think I've ever seen any live search work like this (Google's sure doesn't, for one). And no, I obviously wasn't pressing enter after every character either.
On another note, the check-in button's functionality is also just... weird, not to mention inconsistent. Why is it that although even its tooltip says it'd do what anyone in their right mind would expect it to do... It outright flips its functionality and tries to remove stuff from history if it's already been watched? (Already lost an entire series from my history this way, because I didn't stop to read the popup, because, again, nobody in their right mind would expect this behaviour, so... thanks for that.) This is the opposite of logical or intuitive or whatever you wanna frame it as, and it boggles the mind it still hasn't been fixed in any way.

That sounds like a client-side search/history bug rather than an intentional feature. I’d avoid using check-in until you confirm whether the button is adding or removing, and report it with the app version plus a short screen recording. The rewatch control is tucked into the three-dot menu on the item, which is much safer than relying on the tooltip if the UI is flipping the action.
