searching via settings causes "Uncaught Error: Assertion failed: An associated control was expected for SETTINGS-SUBPAGE Manage sync, but was not found." and spinner doesn't stop animating

Description

Search Sync text doesn’t find sync section in Chrome://settings page

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to Chrome://settings page
2. Search a string ‘Sync’ or ‘sync’
3. Finds the sync section only for the first time ( Observe that the finder icon keeps rotating even after search found)
4. Search a string ‘Sync’ or ‘sync’ again

Actual result:

Doesn’t find the matching string, Finder icon keeps rotating but it never finds the sync section.

Console log error:

[5660:1840:1229/132354.759:ERROR:CONSOLE(8)] “Uncaught Error: Assertion failed: An associated control was expected for SETTINGS-SUBPAGE Manage sync, but was not found.”, source: chrome://settings/crisper.js (8)

Expected result:

Should find the sync section everytime, finder icon should stop after it found search string

changing to feature/settings as this seems more like a settings bug and not specific to sync. please change back if I’m wrong.

Agreed, might have been caused by adding Sync into the settings but affecting all of brave://settings. I moved it from the Sync project to the General project board. We should get this fixed for 0.59.x as it’s a new regression. CCing @rebron
