Description

Description

In at least both Chrome (88) and Safari - while creating/editing an entry, if you doubleclick on the dropdown for selecting which matrix block to add fast enough, the dropdown can get into a bad state so that, when you click it again, it immediately opens and closes. The 'fix' is to click anywhere off the dropdown button (and then the dropdown will open) and you'll be back into a normal state.

Additional info
  • Craft version: 3.5.17.1 and 3.6.1
  • PHP version: 7.3.11
  • Database driver & version: MySQL 5.5.5
  • Plugins & versions: can duplicate without any plugins enabled

Research direction

Reproduce the issue while creating or editing an entry, using the Matrix block-selection dropdown and the reported Chrome or Safari versions. Trace the dropdown behavior from the entry editor and identify where a rapid double-click leaves it stuck. Done means repeated opening and closing works normally without clicking elsewhere first.
