Select With Dynamic Items Fails To Show Popup Upon Update

by ADMIN 58 views

Bug Report

Current Behavior

When working with a setup where the items in one select depend on the value of another, a peculiar issue arises. After changing the first select's value, the dependent select updates its options accordingly. However, upon this update, the popup associated with the dependent select fails to show again. This behavior is particularly noticeable in Chrome DevTools, where the popup is rendered in the DOM but remains invisible within the viewport. It appears that the styles are not being recalculated after the change, leading to this unexpected behavior.

Expected Behavior

The expected behavior in this scenario is that after changing the value of the first select, the dependent select should update its options and the dropdown should open and appear correctly within the viewport. This would ensure a seamless user experience, allowing users to easily navigate through the dynamic options.

Reproducible Example

To facilitate further investigation and potential debugging, a reproducible example has been created using CodeSandbox. This example can be accessed at https://codesandbox.io/p/devbox/determined-snowflake-tcg4qw?file=%2Fsrc%2FApp.tsx.

Base UI Version

The issue is being encountered in the v1.0.0-alpha.8 version of the Base UI.

Browser and OS Information

The bug is being reported in Chrome on Mac OS.

Troubleshooting Steps

Step 1: Inspect the DOM

Using Chrome DevTools, inspect the DOM to verify that the popup is indeed rendered. This will help determine if the issue lies in the rendering of the popup or in the styles being applied.

Step 2: Check Styles and Layout

Inspect the styles and layout of the popup to ensure that they are being applied correctly. This may involve checking the CSS rules and layout properties to identify any potential issues.

Step 3: Verify Event Listeners

Verify that the necessary event listeners are being attached to the select elements. This may involve checking the code that updates the dependent select and ensuring that the event listeners are being properly attached.

Step 4: Test with Different Browsers

Test the issue in different browsers to determine if it is specific to Chrome or if it is a more widespread issue.

Potential Solutions

Solution 1: Recalculate Styles

One potential solution to this issue is to recalculate the styles after the dependent select updates. This can be achieved by calling the updateStyles() method on the popup element.

Solution 2: Attach Event Listeners

Another potential solution is to attach event listeners to the select elements to ensure that the popup is updated correctly. This may involve adding event listeners to the change event of the select elements.

Solution 3: Update Base UI Version

If the issue is specific to the v1.0.0-alpha.8 version of the Base UI, updating to a later version may resolve the issue.
