[Bug Report] Disable "onwheel" parameter for performer page input forms using numerical values
Closed this issue · 1 comments
As discussed on Discord: Numerical input forms on the performer page can unintentionally get incremented or decremented when using a mouse wheel to scroll the pointer out of the input form. Unless a user specifically reviews the values they submitted after they save, any change in value from the scrolling will likely be unnoticed.
I was able to disable the behavior by adding onwheel="return false;" to the relevant input tags, though there may be a better approach
After further investigation and discussion, I have come to the conclusion that some of the behaviour here is buggy, and this seems to be limited to Chrome-based browsers.
Scrolling to change the values in numeric input fields is (as far as I can determine) a well-established feature of browser form behaviour for numeric input fields. The expected behaviour however is that when scrolling the mouse wheel while a numeric field is focused and hovered, it should mutate the field value and not scroll the viewport. What I am seeing on Chrome however is that it's doing both. This presents a usability issue since, as echo6ix discovered, it's not obvious to the user that the value has been changed. On other browsers, the window is not scrolled.
TLDR: using the mouse wheel to change numeric input values is expected when the field is focused and hovered, but it should not also be scrolling the window at the same time.
