QInputs with autogrow enabled don't work on Cordova iOS

[skmbr]

What happened?

Either I can't focus on them at all or they sort of half focus and the keyboard appears, but no cursor is visible and whatever I type goes in backwards! ie. each keypress is added to the beginning of the value!

They work fine with autogrow removed.

What did you expect to happen?

For the input to behave normally and autogrow to work when required.

Reproduction URL

How to reproduce?

Add autogrow to a QInput Build for iOS and run on device.

The same behaviour also occurs when the QInput is type="textarea" WITHOUT autogrow.

Has anyone else experienced this or have any workaround suggestions?

This and https://github.com/quasarframework/quasar/issues/13619 are now preventing me putting out a new release, so I'm about to start looking into building my own textarea and dialog components :(

I discovered this ten year old stackoverflow post that seemed relevant...

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11568239/cant-edit-input-type-text-or-textarea-with-cordova-1-9-0-and-android-jelly-be

...and to my surprise, adding -webkit-user-select: auto !important to the QInput input-style seems to be working.

I find it hard to believe that textareas haven't worked out of the box on Cordova/iOS for over a decade, but it certainly seems that way 🤷‍♂️

Will do some more testing, but maybe adding this should be considered for QInput if there are no other side effects?

Can you please test this to see if it fixes the problem?

• remove your fix
• in your app css file add this (SASS syntax here - please adjust to your case)

.q-field
  &__native, &__input
    user-select: auto

I want to check if this can be fixed without !important

[skmbr]

@pdanpdan Yep, that works! 👍

This has been fixed long ago. Forgot to close the ticket.
