Combo select only example - Edge case 'Backspace' handled wrong #3155

Open codinghusi opened 3 weeks ago

codinghusi commented 3 weeks ago

Hello everyone

Whilst playing around in the CodePen of https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/combobox/examples/combobox-select-only/, I saw an edge case that the keys 'Backspace' and 'Clear' weren't handled correctly. Pressing the backspace key and having an entry named 'Backspace' would highlight this specific entry instantly, because the search string would now be 'Backspace'.

Kind regards, Gerrit Weiermann

The ARIA Authoring Practices (APG) Task Force just discussed Issue 3155 - Potential combobox bug.

The full IRC log of that discussion <jugglinmike> Topic: Issue 3155 - Potential combobox bug
<jugglinmike> github: https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/issues/3155
<jugglinmike> Matt_King: This is a weird bug, but it sounds like a theoretical problem with the robustness of the code
<jugglinmike> Matt_King: I would like to have someone look at this issue, look at the code, and decide if this is a valid bug that we need to respond to
<jugglinmike> jongund: I can look at the code
<jugglinmike> Matt_King: I'm not going to label it a bug, yet. I'd prefer to hear your opinion, first, jongund. I'll only assign the issue to you and label it "feedback" for now
