Unable to pick stage from Add Material menu in Chrome on MacOS Sonoma about gocd HOT 7 CLOSED

Well I can certainly replicate, but no idea what is causing this. Based on random googling, it does seem there are a lot of Chrome things broken for various folks on Sonoma.

There is nothing fancy about this dropdown - it's a basic HTML <select> with <option>s. Only slightly different weirder thing is that it's on an overlay. I suspect we just need to wait for a MacOS or Chrome fix here.

The problem is related to the - default option which is specific to this pipeline material selector. Other dropdowns don't seem to have that "force the user to actually select something valid" behaviour.

When there is no existing selection from the dropdown (as for a new material, not for an existing one), something is going awry with the default selection when you open it which is causing the native selector pop-up to close.

After some digging, I think this is caused by https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1497774 - I am guessing when there is no existing selection the selection gets updated when you open the menu, or something, triggering this bug. Fixed for 121 based on chromium/chromium@9aa331b and also verified it's fixed for in Chrome Dev (121) locally.

Anyway, the workaround is pretty low risk, so will implement that all the same.

Presumably it was working OK with Chrome 118 or some earlier version?

On further investigation, I think that this could actually be related to the recent rollout of MacOS Sonoma 14.1.1 in my business, rather than Chrome or GoCD.

I've run a bunch of tests, and I see the issue with Chrome all the way back to Chrome v105, and GoCD versions back to 23.1.0-16079. I can also confirm that one of our users who does not see the issue, is on Chrome v117.0.5938.149 on MacOS Ventura 13.2.1. Unfortunately I don't have a test Mac to roll back the OS on to investigate further on that point, and my Mac is on Sonoma.

Ok, no worries - at least I should be able to replicate as long as it's not dependent on any particular Chrome extensions, and that's also a bit more narrower and thus easier to trace.

Great - thanks for looking. I think you're probably right - something for Apple to fix. What's puzzling about this is that I've not been able to find another dropdown in GoCD that suffers from the same (mis)behaviour.

from gocd.

Hmm, true. Even some of the pop-up overlays don't have the same behaviour with a dropdown (e.g editing a config repository's permission rules, or editing an existing pipeline material's stage). I'm not really sure what is different here that might explain this or suggest a workaround.

Have you seen it on any other dropdowns by chance?
