An alternative to #27406 coinciding more with the approach recommended here: #30392 (comment)
Why
The issue is toggle buttons for popovers that don't close the popover as expected. When part of a
Dropdowncomponent the toggle works fine in common browsers but fails in some UAs (e.g. Firefox on macOS and Safari) that do not focus button elements when pressed.How
A custom hook has been added that gives back handlers to ease implementor boilerplate in making toggles that work in tandem with popovers auto-closing behavior (because that should be canceled in cases that pressing the toggle was what caused the auto-close). The hook has been used to refactor
Dropdownbut the implementors of it need minor updates to get the improved toggle logic (that doesn't break on the aforementioned UAs).DropdownMenuhas also been updated and its implementors need no changes to use the improved toggle logic. As an example of refactoring an ad hoc dropdown-like component, thePostDateblock was updated to use the new hook for its date picker. There are various others like it that should receive similar treatment as they don't currently toggle properly even in UAs that do focus buttons when pressed.Ongoing
If this approach gets a green light here are some things left to do:
DropdownimplementorsHow has this been tested?
Manually in Chrome and Firefox on macOS by interacting with any of the dropdowns affected by the PR and many that are not. All is well so far.
