802248 - Cannot open the same <select> menu twice in a row

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 793108

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Donovan Preston [:fzzzy]]

Attachment: simple repro html

When selecting an option from a <select> tag in an html page, once the selection has been made, that same select box cannot be tapped to make a different selection until a different select box has been tapped.

Repro:

1) Open example index.html page
2) Choose an item from first select list
3) Attempt to choose a different item from this same list; does not work
4) Choosing an item from the other list causes the first list to be choosable again

I'm not really sure if this is a bug in platform or gaia.

I'm pretty sure this is a gaia bug as we only create an activity on focus*change*. Slightly related to bug 796269.

Ah, so you change focus, and then the focuschange can't fire again because it's already focused...

Yeah looks like a dupe of #796269

Thanks!!

Maybe the fix is to unfocus the select box once the selection is made?

Exactly.

No, not a dupe, just related :)

Maybe? I definitely works that way manually. I don't know if it's okay to do that automatically...

bug 793108 is working on this and can also solve this bug in my dev build.

Should we mark this as a dupe of 793108?

Yeah, I think so.
