Hmmm, this sounds a lot like https://github.com/PolymerElements/paper-button/issues/24. Do you think it's the same?
It looks like it could be related, though I've never triggered this by switching browser tabs.
FWIW, you can reproduce this in desktop Chrome by turning on mobile device emulation:
Looking further, I just set a breakpoint in PaperInkyFocusBehaviorImpl
\'s _focusChanged(..)
to see why receivedFocusFromKeyboard
is getting set to true
. Walking up the call stack, I came to IronButtonStateImpl
\'s _detectKeyboardFocus(..)
, where I noticed that the focused
param it's getting passed is true
:
Walking up the stack a little further, I came to IronControlState
\'s _focusBlurHandler(..)
, which is what's incorrectly setting focused
on this button to true
in the first place:
At that point my call stack ends, so I'm not immediately sure what's triggering _focusBlurHandler(..)
on this button. If I can figure that out, maybe I can figure out how to stop this from happening in the first place. If you have any ideas, please let me know. Thanks!
@notwaldorf I noticed that with the following patch against my repro, the bug goes away:

Is this somehow a helpful clue in fixing the bug?
Looking into this deeper, it seems to be an issue with our state machine in iron-button-state. Due to the sticky behavior of a tap, the button under the finger while you tap changes due to the javascript, and thus a new button is focused.
The problem is that since this is a new button with a different instance of iron-button-state
, it cannot tell that the user has their finger down and thus believes that the pointer is up and the button is focused. Thus, the element thinks that this was a keyboard focus.
This is why when you change the state with the async
, it gives the user enough time to lift their finger before it changes to a new button. Thus, the element does not gain focus on attached.
TL;DR: The user enters the state machine of iron-button-state at the wrong point
Thanks for taking a look at this @e111077!
That explanation makes it sound to me like the finger is being held down in the same spot while button A is swapped out for button B, which is what's causing button B to think there's a finger over it, and therefore that it should be focused.
But when I hold my finger down over button A, nothing happens -- that is, it's not actually swapped out for button B -- until I lift my finger off of it. Which is how it seems like on-tap
is supposed to work.
Given that, I'm not following why the system ever thinks there's a finger over button B. Am I misunderstanding?
In any case, it looks like we agree that the line this._setFocused(event.type === 'focus')
(highlighted in my most recent screenshot) is problematic. That ends up amounting to _setFocused(true)
, even though the button should not be focused. Not immediately sure how to change the logic though to fix this. Do you have any ideas?
Meant to say, one other thing that would be interesting to address here is why the bug manifests in some environments (e.g. Chrome for iOS and Android) but not others (mobile Safari).
We upgraded to Polymer 2 and are still seeing this behavior.
I realized I could create an even simpler reproduction using alert

The source for this is at https://github.com/jab/paper-behaviors-issue-80/blob/master/polymer2.html
@notwaldorf @e111077 et al., do you have any ideas for a fix or workaround?
Thanks so much for taking a look!
Meant to say, this new test case reproduces the bug for me no matter what browser or platform I test with. I assume it's the same bug with incorrect "using the keyboard?" detection, but please let me know if it's a separate issue.
Unfortunately, the comment I previously made on paper-button is still the case (code reference should now be https://github.com/PolymerElements/iron-behaviors/blob/46cc9bd4c09a87650697584cc60dd52a352bccfd/iron-button-state.html#L124).
Expected outcome
The button is not focused.
Actual outcome
The button is focused.

Hypothesis
Looking at https://github.com/PolymerElements/paper-behaviors/blob/fd8c137/paper-inky-focus-behavior.html#L26-L33, I think what's happening is that for some reason, the
receivedFocusFromKeyboard
param is getting passed in astrue
, even though the only user interactions have been taps (there's no keyboard in sight).Screenshots
