Input field to add item is buggy in IE11

ankedsgn commented 6 years ago

Hi all!

Sorry to add another buggy thing to the issues. :)

How to reproduce

Open an IE11 somewhere on your computer
try to add a menu item: first label (no problem), then path/link
Problem: The input field for path/link only shows 1 typed character and does not display any suggestions

menueditor-ie11-buggybugy

What happens?

The inline style of the input field is set to style="width: .75em;" . And not updated when typing.

What should happen?

In chrome and FF, the inline style is updated with every typed character.

But why?

It seems to me like a select2 problem, but looking at their open issues I could not find a similar issue.

Using menu editor 3.2.4 Did only test on IE11 since client is a) Noob and b) is completely lost that this doesn't work .. ;)

Addition

This seems to be a select2 issue, because the Omnisearch in Bolt is also broken in IE11. There it's less obvious, because the width is set correctly, but there are no suggestions shown at all.

Yeah, see bolt/bolt/issues/5676 and #33 for some details... not sure how to fix this without rewriting it to not use select2 or getting a fix and release in upstream.

I'm going to close this one, since it seems unreasonable to solve it here. The menueditor depends on bolt, which depends on select2, which has had exactly 1 proper commit since Nov 22, 2017 (and even that was a translation-only commit).

I'm going to update the readme to say that we do not support IE period, and PR the same for bolt.
