1643209 - Clicking Dropdown Input List Item Doesn't Work Unless Long Press

Status: NEW

(GeckoView :: IME, defect, P3)

Description

[Emily Kager [:ekager]]

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to https://www.laposte.fr/particulier/outils/trouver-un-point-d-envoi-de-colis-ou-de-retrait?query=94140
2. Tap in the area where the zip code 94140 is displayed
3. A list of one item appears with 94140 Alfortville, France
4. Tap this item

Expected behavior

• The input changes with this value
• A map is displayed on this city

Actual behavior

Nothing is happening

Emily Edit: If you long press on the drop down item, it seems to work, but that seems wrong.

Device information

• Android device: Pixel 2, Android 10
• Fenix version: Firefox Preview Nightly (Nightly 200603 06:00) Build 21550609 GV78, can also reproduce on Fenix Beta GV 75

Note:

• This is working in chrome
• Expanding the area for the suggestion (padding,margin) so it takes more screen real estate and is not anymore close to the input, and the selection is working.
• Initial webcompat report https://github.com/webcompat/web-bugs/issues/53520

Mike, what is the priority for this for Fenix?

laposte.fr is a surprisingly popular site (Top 1500, according to Alexa). Also, this is using what appears to be the Google Maps Autocomplete API, which is probably all over the web. I would consider this to be pretty important to fix.

Hi John, per comment 3, can you please spend time on investigating these and suggesting the next step first? Thanks.

Sure, I'll take a look. Keep NI for tracking.

According to [1], it seems more like an android widget issue. Redirect to Widget: Android component.

Could this be fallout from the native forms work?

Comment 8

[Emilio Cobos Álvarez (:emilio)]

Not really. You can check the old implementation (not for long though) with widget.disable-native-theme-for-content=false, and refreshing the page. The bug still repros there.

Plus those controls are not natively styled, so it's not like the theme should have an effect anyway.

I think running mozregression on this is the best next step to figure out fwiw.

Makoto says this bug might be related to bug 1511157, which is blocked on spec issue https://github.com/w3c/uievents/issues/202.

Moving some input bugs to the new GeckoView::IME component.
