1334038 - <input type=date> seems to show selection pop up even when tab is changed

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Toolkit :: UI Widgets, defect)

Attachment: Screenshot showing the selector for <input type=date>

I tried to use the <input type=date> tag after enabling it using dom.forms.datetime . It looks good, but it seems that when the pop-up for selecting date is visible and when I switch to another tab "using the shortcut" Ctrl+Tab, the pop-up doesn't close instead it is shown in the new tab where it isn't relevant and also partially hiding the contents of the new tab. (see screen shots). 

Browser : Nightly 54.0a1

Steps to reproduce:
0. Enable the newly added "date" type for input tag from about:config by setting the dom.forms.datetime to true
1. Open a HTML document with <input type=date> in it
2. Click the input box to open up the date selector
3. Switch to another tab using "Ctrl+tab"

Expected behaviour:
The date selector is closed

Actual behaviour:
The selector window is shown even in the new tab where the corresponding input field isn't present

Thanks for reporting this bug Kaartic!

I think all it takes is adding `tabspecific="true"` to the datetime panel:

Would you be able to take a quick look Mike? A similar issue happens to <select> dropdown as well. I'll file a bug if it's not reported already.

Hey scottwu, thanks for the patch. For future reference, just the r? flag is fine. The additional needinfo? is not required. :)
