Can't enter custom tag and can't clear individual selections with the remove buttons (X) on mobile

[martin9348]

I tried the select on mobile (mostly on the codepen) and there are some issues, at least on my device (Android 9, Chrome 76):

• On a tagging enabled field, I am not able to enter a custom tag. As soon as I touch the field, the tag choices appear (native mobile UI). What I would like to do is be able to put the focus in the input box (having the placeholder "Enter a tag...") and enter a custom tag.

• On a multiple/tagging field, I am not able to remove individual selections by touching/clicking the X at the item level.

I can confirm this, using selectr for the Meta-Press.es WebExtension (alternative to Google News), installed on GNU IceCat Mobile (based on Firefox Mobile 60.5.1) from F-Droid.org.
