1904555 - MacOS Ctrl+⌘+Space character viewer fails, preventing emoji/special character input

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1855346

(Core :: Widget: Cocoa, defect)

Description

[Taylor Hunt]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:129.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/129.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Focus a textual input in Firefox — doesn’t seem to matter what kind. (I can reproduce with HTML form elements, the about:preferences search input, and the URL bar)
2. Press Ctrl + Cmd + Space

Actual results:

The outline of MacOS’s “Character Viewer” pops up for a split second, but then is dismissed without any user input. Sometimes it gets as far as showing the characters, but the time elapsed before autodismissal seems identical.

Expected results:

The Character Viewer should remain onscreen until the user inputs a special character or dismisses it
