Description

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

Navigate to the image browsing prototype on a mobile touch device eg, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Breadfruit&imageBrowsing=1&useformat=mobile&useskin=minerva
Tap on a Carousel image to open the DetailView
Tap on the download icon-only toggle button to open the popover with image resolution selection
Tap in the select (optionally change the selection)
Tap the "download" button or anywhere inside the popover

IB_download_popover.png (782×1,330 px, 1 MB)

What happens?:

The popover closes.
The image is not downloaded.

What should have happened instead?:

The popover remains open (unless the download button triggers closing the popover).
The image should download or prompt to download.

Software version (on Special:Version page; skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):

Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):

Bug occurs on mobile/touch devices.
Bug reported during the accessibility audit T404743: Image Browsing: Perform accessibility audit of the entire feature
Poor user experience: After changing the selection and pressing the "download" button, the popover unexpectedly closes. The selection persists, so if you reopen the popover and press download again without changing the selection, it works as expected.

Findings

Not able to replicate the bug in Codex Sandbox (patch | demo). Testing the demo link on an iOS Safari device, the popover remains open after changing the selection and tapping inside the popover.
Teleportation solves the touch interaction issues, but breaks the keyboard navigation. A future fix may require enabling teleportation and manual focus management.

Decision: We'll fix this post A/B test along with other improvements in our backlog.
