Same here in FF on mac. Does anyone have found a temporary solution to this?

[adam4h]

Anyone find any fix?

i am also using FF on a mac.

i kind of found 2 workarounds to this:

1- by adding a transparent element that overlays the input field. then added a click event on the overlay that will hide it self and trigger $('#input_id').focus();

2- as mentioned above but unslick your slider then slick it again before triggering the focus() note before that by unslicking and slicking your slider, your slider will reset to the first slide which your input field may or may not be on. before unslicking your slider, you will need to set a variable that remembers the current slider position so you can use the slickGoTo after you slick your slider again.

However once you click out of the input field, you will run to the same problem again, therefore you will need to unhide the element that overlays the input at this point. perhaps use the blur() function (untested)

hope that helps

Here is a fork of the fiddle provided by @adam4h with a possible solution.

@theurere thanks for your fiddle. The position absolute creates some flickering in the UI. I changed the position to relative and that seems to work to, but without the flickering.
