Special:WishlistIntake: Unable to scroll through all Tag options using keyboard navigation (Max: 8 hours)
Open, LowPublicBUG REPORT

Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

  1. Go to Special:WishlistIntake (or any form with Tag selection).
  2. Focus on the Tags dropdown using the keyboard (e.g., Tab).
  3. Open the dropdown (e.g., with Enter or Space).
  4. Try to navigate through the full list of available tag options using only the keyboard (e.g., arrow keys, PageDown, etc.).

What happens?:
The keyboard focus does not allow scrolling through all available tag options.
Users cannot reach tags beyond the visible portion of the dropdown without switching to the mouse.

What should have happened instead?:
Users should be able to navigate and scroll through all tag options using only the keyboard.
The dropdown should support full keyboard accessibility, including arrow keys, PageUp/PageDown, Home/End navigation.

I'm not able to replicate this in Firefox or Chromium.

Focus on the Tags dropdown using the keyboard (e.g., Tab).
Open the dropdown (e.g., with Enter or Space).

As soon as I focus the tags field (by tabbing from the previous field), the dropdown opens. Is that not what you're seeing @GMikesell-WMF?

If I then type space, only those tags with a space in their names are shown. Arrowing down can select any of them.
