Description

I am using the React Select for a fullscreen website.

When I click on the Select box in Safari on the iPad (iOS 16.2) in full screen mode and it gets the focus, the page exits full screen mode. This is a safety feature of Safari once a form box gets the focus.

Is it possible to use React Select without activating an "invisible" form field? Or how can I effectively stop Safari from closing the full screen?

Thanks in advance

Research direction

Start by reproducing the focus behavior in React Select on Safari for iOS 16.2 while the page is fullscreen, then inspect the select's focus handling and the invisible form field mentioned in the report. Done means determining whether React Select can avoid this behavior or whether Safari's fullscreen restriction makes it unsupported, and documenting the result.
