selected event not triggered on mouse click

[asimhashmi]

hey, guys, ng2-completer is not emitting the selected event on mouse click, it only emits when I use the arrow keys on the suggestion list and press enter.

<ng2-completer class="col-10"  (selected)="getNewChat($event)" [datasource]="completerData"></ng2-completer>

and

getNewChat(selected: CompleterItem) {
    console.log('item selected');
  }

The above method is only triggered by pressing Enter key Here is the result of ng -v

can you provide a plunker? it's working well in the demo and here

[asimhashmi]

I tried to reproduce it in plunker, but in the plunker, it's working fine but in my project, it sometime get selected item on single click and sometime it doesn't work. any idea what's messing with it, I'm also using angular-bootstrap-md, font-awesome and some other modules

@asimhashmi Were you able to fix this?

[asimhashmi]

nope, but as a workaround, if you double click on the item to select, it always works

Did anyone found a fix for the same? I am also experiencing the same issue, it is working fine in many places but fails to work as expected in a few cases, although the code and usage are exactly the same.

I'm still having the same issue

[rishabh010189]

seems to be an unusual bug. The completer is working fine on some places in the same app/ component, but not working on others, despite the same approach and code.

I have the same issue and found out that selected event is not working when I am clicking on precision touchpad with windows gesture where you can just tap on touchpad and it will send left click but it is working when I am using touchpad button or when I am using mouse

Could anyone verify the same?
