[bug] Edit Item Popup/Dropdown closes unexpectedly

Server Version#: FreeBSD 1.15.5.994
Player Version#: 3.100.1 plex-web UNO on chrome latest

When editing metadata for an item or fixing match, the user can unexpectedly lose focus of the edit window if they do a drag-to-select text and release the mouse button anywhere outside the the edit window. The focus should only drop if the user does a full click outside the edit window (not just a on(‘mouseup’))

This is particularly frustrating for fields that are right up next to the edge of the window’s edge such as “fix match…”.

I’m confused. What text are you trying to highlight? You can’t highlight “fix match”.

Made a quick screen grab of the issue:

The issue is highlighting text inside those pop-up edit windows. Clicking outside the context of the popup should and does close the menu, but it should only happen on a full click/tap and not just a mouseup

EDIT: To add some context, each time I am selecting text, I am keeping the mouse clicked until I am off the popup window. In the video I also provided an example of just clicking outside the popup context (3rd interaction)

Ok, I get it. I’ll let the team know, but why are you dragging so far off to the sides. I’ve never had to drag text like that.

Yeah I noticed that it does look a bit ridiculous in the screen grab but just wanted to highlight the issue. I had quite a bit of media that I needed to select a different agent for matching this morning and required a different entry in the title field. When selecting from right to left I would typically just do a mouse flick to the left when selecting the text to make sure I got the whole field but if you don’t hit that skinny margin to the left of the the title field, the menu closes and you have to try again. It was frustrating enough to file an issue and as a web developer the fix should be pretty straightforward.

I see. The title field in that match modal is pretty close to the edge.
