FluentComboBox and FluentSelect don't work with mouse selection in Microsoft.Maui.Controls v8.0.14

[euantorano]

🐛 Bug Report

When upgrading Microsoft.Maui.Controls and/or Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Compatibility, the <FluentComboBox> and <FluentSelect> stop accepting mouse inputs to select items. Keyboard actions to select items still work.

Microsoft.Maui.Controls > 8.0.7 causes this bug.
Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Compatibility > 8.0.7 causes this bug.

Using older versions of these libraries (e.g. using 8.0.7 for both) resolves the problem.

Note that other components may also be broken, but I have observed both FLuentCombobox and FluentSelect myself.

💻 Repro or Code Sample

See repository: https://github.com/euantorano/fluentui-combo-and-select

Branch main does not work, but the branch working-version does work.

🤔 Expected Behavior

Selecting items with the mouse should work for both FluentComboBox and FluentSelect.

😯 Current Behavior

Selecting items with the mouse does not work.

@Eilon did we change something in the blazor hybrid web view that folks need to specify the render type? do folks need interactivity enabled somehow?

Seems like this issue has resurfaced again. When we had the issue earlier, we solved it by adding a package reference to a particular version of Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK(1.4.231115000). But, now we have the same issue again.

I am also facing the same issue, selecting items <FluentSelect> with the mouse does not work on Windows, but it works on Android.

It seems to be a regression on the MAUI side. We are blocked till it is fixed there.

Oh thank you, -1 in my backlog, i had the same issue for weeks after a big UI redesign from pure html css to fluentui components, i was thinking at a css thing so i push myself really hard to delay the investigation, i have others issues, with no css involved, to manage!
I solved it by downgrading the Microsoft.Maui.Essentials from 8.0.21 to version="8.0.6" and the 2 others previously mentionned and everything is fine now!

[euantorano]

Looks like this is still broken in v8.0.21. Is there any timeline for a fix on the MAUI side or a link to an issue on that side of things?

[vnbaaij]

You should really ask that in the MAUI repo. We are not on that team and do not have any insights into their planning/roadmap

[euantorano]

OK. When you came to the conclusion in #1741 (comment), what made you realise it was a regression on their side? When I open an issue over there I want to provide as much detail as I can.

[vnbaaij]

Based on the fact that it worked fine with version 8.0.6 or 7 of the Microsoft.Maui.Componets library.

[euantorano]

OK, thanks. Issue opened with the MAUI team: dotnet/maui#22297

This appears to be a bug in WinUI WebView2 specifically. I opened a MAUI-less repro bug here: MicrosoftEdge/WebView2Feedback#4545
