Description

When the user clicks into the text field, a list with suggestions is opened in a popup. When the user scrolls this list by clicking on the vertical scrollbar, the popup disappears.

Affects IE11 and Edge, not affected is Chrome.

this seems similar to WICKET-5882

I have resolved the issue by replacing lines 91+ in wicket-autcomplete.js with the following code:

Wicket.Event.add(obj, 'blur', function (jqEvent) {
        var menuId=getMenuId();

        //workaround for IE. Clicks on scrollbar trigger
        //'blur' event on input field. (See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-5882)
        if (menuId !== document.activeElement.id && (menuId + "-container") !== document.activeElement.id) {
          window.setTimeout(hideAutoComplete, 500);
        } else {
          jQuery(this).trigger("focus");
        }
      });
