Hi, I'm having an issue in my app where I have several input fields in a row but when I enter alphabet input in the fields Firefox doesn't show the input. The input is being selected and I know it's doing something because my app changes the active element but the input itself is left blank.

The last input element does however show. Also, if I enter numbers it works fine as well.

The input fields work properly in Chrome(Both), Edge, Firefox (Desktop).

Does Firefox android implement input fields differently?

Thank you.

Hi

So that I can replicate the issue here, are you able to share a link to the website that you are trying to use?

Hi, sorry for late reply -

I tried debugging mobile and this doesn't appear to be an issue with css. I guess this issue happens when focus is used. When I console log it, my function that handles an input gets triggered twice for some reason, once with a letter and again with an empty string. This doesn't happen for numbers though. Happens in both Firefox and Firefox Focus.

What I have is an onchange event for the input element so when the onchange is called, focus is shifted to the next input element - think of it like apple ID two factor authentication where there is six boxes separated

I can post a skeleton version of the app (may just take a day or two to get ready)

If you could share a link to the page where this is happening, it would help us to replicate the issue and hopefully find a solution for you.
