iOS10 Safari Keyboard Popup - safari

I have a single page web app. The keyboard pops-up everytime I click on the screen.
There are no text input boxes in the DOM at all.
How can I debug why the keyboard is popping up.
You can see examples of this strange behaviour at https://blight.ironhelmet.com and https://np.ironhelmet.com
update with a clue: A user is now reporting that rather than the keyboard, a dropdown selection spiner is popping up all the time, long after that dropdown has been removed from the DOM.

For React users:
I had the same thing happen in a React single-page app with React-Router. I didn't write code to remove elements from the DOM, but of course React does that for you.
On my site, there are React components that contain one to four input fields. After any such component appears, and then is hidden (unmounted / not rendered anymore), then any time the user taps a link, the keyboard pops up. This makes the site unusable. The only way to make it stop was to reload the page.
The workaround: calling document.activeElement.blur() in componentWillUnmount for the wrapper component around my <input> fields did the trick.
componentWillUnmount()
{
if (document && document.activeElement)
{
document.activeElement.blur();
}
}
Note that calling window.activeElement.blur() did not seem to do anything.
There's a thread in the Apple support forums about this issue:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7692319

Looks like the keyboard was holding a reference to input after I had removed them from the DOM.
I added a test when removing element to see if it was the current activeElement, then, if so, calling document.activeElement.blur() before removing it. Seems to have solved the problem so far.

When to use accessibilityRole='link' in ReactNative?

I have an application with drawer navigation that uses buttons to navigate to different screens.
In terms of accessibility, should I use accessibilityRole='button' or accessibilityRole='link' for the buttons.?
React Native AccessibilityRole docs say
link Used when the element should be treated as a link.
For external links accessibilityRole='link' is clearly the best option. But should I use it for internal navigation, too?
Note: I do not use deep links in my application.
Thank you for your help.
The Link component
renders a component that can navigate to a screen on press.
The Button component is a component that performs a certain action if the user presses it. A Button could be considered a Link if its onPress function navigates to a screen, by definition of the Link component. The Link could be styled to look exactly like a Button and vice versa. There would be no difference.
If we refer to general URL linking which includes deep linking, then we notice that the link functionality needs a UI component as well in order to function. This could be Markdown, the Link component or again the Button.
I personally would use accessibilityRole='button' for every UI component that is the actual Button component or functions (and 'looks') like a button in my application (TouchableOpacity, Pressable, ...), since this is what a user whose disability prevents him from noticing needs to know or wants to visualize. This includes the Drawer buttons.
I would use accessibilityRole='link' for text which is styled too look like a link (text with some highlighting) and navigates somewhere (this could be a website as well).
In general, I would keep in mind that the user wants to visualize the component. While a button, that navigates to a screen, is technically a link by definition of its functionality, it is not a 'typical link' when speaking of visual appereance (but again, we could style our button exactly like that...).
What is generally more important is the accessibilityHint which
helps users understand what will happen when they perform an action on the accessibility element when that result is not clear from the accessibility label.
The 'what will happen if I click' is certainly more important than 'what the component looks like'.

Vue - When I switch between 2 card tabs, tinyMCE disappears

I have component with tinyMCE wrapped in <tiny-mce-editor></tiny-mce-editor> in Vue Bootstrap Card component. However if I switch to second tab and back, the editor leaves plain textarea. I have tried many possible solutions I've found over the internet, but any seems work. The thing is that the editor component must be universal so I am not really able to catch it at card level and destroying it every tab switch that occurs. How am I supposed to fix this behavior? I am using tinyMCE v5 and completely depressed.
May try add
tinymce.remove("YourSelectorValue");
before tinymce initialization.

Quasar QSelect popup and input text persistent on click

I am trying to set up a QSelect driven by user input in order to achieve an "autocomplete" behavior. There are a few examples on the official documentation and they make use of the #filter callback.
I have currently two problems:
Whenever I click outside of the input field the input text is lost and the popup disappears.
If I click on the input the current text remains, but the pop is hidden until I click on it again.
For the latter issue, one workaround is to force the popup to show upon click:
<q-select
ref="input"
...
#click.native.prevent="onClick"
>
...
onClick(){
if( this.searchFilter.length > 0){
this.$refs.input.showPopup()
}
}
However, the inconvenience is that the popup still shortly disappears for a short while before showing again. I've also tried using #click.native.stop instead of #click.native.prevent to no avail.
As for issue number 1 I haven't even found a workaround yet.
Here is a related issue, though the popup disappearing was a wanted behavior in his case.
I set up a basic Pen to illustrate the issue. Try clicking on the input or outside the input at the same height.
The trick was to use #click.capture.native and then conditionally stop the propagation inside the callback function via event.stopImmediatePropagation() See it working here

React Native TextInput with editable=true and dataDetectorTypes

I'm trying to create a TextInput component that is both editable and has clickable urls. According to the react native docs, the dataDetectorTypes prop is only supported when editable={false}.
Determines the types of data converted to clickable URLs in the text input. Only valid if multiline={true} and editable={false}.
Has anyone found a way around this limitation? It seems like it should be possible. The behavior I want is...
Tapping on the url should open it in a browser
Tapping anywhere else should start editing at that position
It's ok if the link is no longer clickable when the TextInput currently has focus
The only thing I can think of to get around this is to store the editable value in state and then upon clicking some Edit button will change the state from editable to true.
onBlur would switch this state back to false
I haven't tried this before though so just a suggestion on attempting workarounds or finding some middle ground between the two.
My suggestion is to place the input field with the url centered inside a bigger div.
Make the input field not much bigger the text inside it and when you click it trigger some function that redirects to the page on your state.
And when you click on the outer div you trigger a function to focus on the input field and edit its value.

Modal is hiding automatically after showing another modal in vuejs.

I am using import bModal from 'bootstrap-vue/es/components/modal/modal'; bootstrap-modal
I have following User Interface in Modal, here I need to choose department from a dropdown(getting item list using AJAX). Here I want to make it easy to add new department by clicking button beside the dropdonw - for such popup modal with UI.
In vuejs i have code for main modal -
showModal () {
this.clearForm();
this.formInfo.formSubmitted = false;
this.$refs[this.modalInfo.id].show();
}
this is working fine. Now on click event on green button, another modal should be opened over currently opened window. Unfortunately, currently modal is get hidden and new model opened. I have following code for extra modal-
showExtraModal:function(){
this.$refs['extraModal'].show();
}
How can I solve this problem in vue js.
Seems to be a limitation of Bootstrap (see docs):
Bootstrap only supports one modal window at a time. Nested modals aren’t supported as we believe them to be poor user experiences.
Since bootstrap-vue is just a wrapper around Bootstrap, the same limitation will likely apply.
I had a similar problem with pure Bootstrap; IIRC I solved it by altering the content of the modal instead of showing a new one (in Vue-speak: rendering a different component), kind of a mini-routing inside the modal.
