Geopoint form error for forms not using any geolocation items

Closed this issue · 1 comments

None of our forms ever use geolocation items.

We have had multiple reports of users getting a geopoint error on form load that prevents usage of the form. These cases were from users in France and Poland. In each case, standard Edge windows showed the error but Private windows worked.

We think that a browser plugin was the cause. However, since we don't use geolocation features in forms, we don't want the form to fail in cases like this. In general, it would be better for us and more robust generally if the form didn't attempt to resolve geolocation information when no items in the form use it.

The reported browser version was Firefox 83.0 which is 3 years old. Martijn reported that this is simply too old to support the syntax (not specific to the geopoint widget).
