I’ve just noticed here on meta and on my install of Discourse 2.1.0.beta4, that removing tags via the ❌ icon next to the assigned tag doesn’t work on latest Firefox 61.0.2 (it works on Chrome 68).

The only way of removing a tag right now is using the keyboard with Right Arrow and Backspace.

I would say this is a Firefox bug, the ember component `click` event is not firing when it is firing on chrome (probably related to the fact that this specific part of the component is replaced by raw html). I will find a workaround.

edit: yes probably this, it’s often firing on first hit when existing tag, subsequent render are killing the event.

edit2: tried on firefox nightly (63) still having the same behaviour, definitely have to find a workaround…

This should fix it: [FIX: ember click event not reliably working on fx (#6256) · discourse/discourse@6a2ca60 · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/6a2ca60b48e32802e6c54b4fc8f562b91d0435f9)

For some reason, in this specific case the component level `click()` handler from ember wasn’t working reliably in Firefox.

This is still happening on Firefox and Safari. Trying to delete the assigned tag by clicking the tag closes the mini-tag-chooser.

On Chrome it works correctly.

I investigated a little bit more, I think it’s working better than before, but still randomly failing (and probably not so random in fact :D). I still think it’s a browser bug, I’m doing nothing fancy here, and it’s perfectly working on chrome. I have a good fix in mind, it’s not trivial, but probably the way to go. Will work on it but don’t expect a fix before next week.

I just pushed this:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/7290765a6202ae217865962a1a5d45725b6a642b](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/7290765a6202ae217865962a1a5d45725b6a642b)

It seems to fix the issue. It’s not the fancy patch I had in mind but should be good enough for now and give me more time to work on a non hacky solution.
