Hey, has anyone also encountered this issue where Safari "recent" history in the History drop down menu just disappears out of a sudden? I can't really pinpoint exact timing when it happens and it's showing perfectly fine in the "full history" (cmd+Y), just not in the drop down menu.
Completely closing and reopening the app solves this issue for a while, but after a while it comes back. Maybe there's a simple solution i can't think of? MacOS and Safari are up to date, tried relogging to iCloud - nothing changed. Could unsupported mac (MP 5,1) cause something like this?

It would be helpful to know what you have your Safari Preferences Remove history items set to.

As i mentioned, safari is up to date so 15.6.1 and remove is set to 1 year, but it doesnt matter since as i said after closing and reopening the items come back and don't disappear from the "real" history, just from the drop down menu.
