[BUG] Event search distance change loses location

On the search page,  I use the quick search for Events, and routinely modify that search from the default 30 miles to 60 miles.

Today,  modifying the distance causes the loss of location; returns a list of 4,184 events, all worldwide.    This a recurring bug.

I can replicate this.

 

When I run the Events shortcut and then change the filter's distance, the following in the URL changes from (my home coordinates fudged for privacy):

/@48.500000,-123.500000?origin=home

to:

?ot=4

The rest of the URL before and after these parts stays the same, with the exception of the changed distance in the "&radius=" parameter. I'm not sure what the "ot=4" parameter represents, but it's clearly dropping the part where it does a radius search from my home location.

I can confirm this bug.
