bug: ion-activated class removed when contextmenu event

[Klapik]

Prerequisites

• I have read the Contributing Guidelines.
• I agree to follow the Code of Conduct.
• I have searched for existing issues that already report this problem, without success.

Ionic Framework Version

• v4.x
• v5.x
• v6.x
• Nightly

Current Behavior

When I hold element with ion-activatable class, hover only appears for a moment. Class ion-activated is removed after a while. It's because changes in tap-click.ts file - event contextmenu is fired on longpress and after the changes, the hover breaks.

Expected Behavior

When I hold element with ion-activatable class, hover should stay as long as the hold is taking.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add an element with a class to the view, e.g. <div class="ion-activatable">test</div>.
2. Hold element on mobile device.

Thanks for the issue. The code in 2c07a15#diff-a2c042e751c5816179d1f73c952a6828a85b41cdf1f31d8d27f78222f7d4769fR163 was added to account for the .ion-activated class not being removed when right clicking an element when developing. We found this while trying to inspect elements with developer tools.

This change had the unintended side effect of causing .ion-activated to be removed when long pressing on a button on Android as the contextmenu event is fired there too. We were likely testing on iOS at the time, and iOS does not fire the contextmenu event at the moment (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213953).

In terms of fixing this, we can likely do the following:

1. Remove the contextmenu event listener.
2. Add code to the onMouseDown to exclude right clicks. This will result in the ripple effect/activated effect not being added when right clicking with a mouse.

Thanks for the quick reply, the repair proposal sounds very good

Can you give this dev build a try and let me know if it resolves the issue on your end?

npm install @ionic/angular@6.1.12-dev.11656428805.122ccb6c

In @ionic/angular@6.1.12-dev.11656428805.122ccb6c When I hold element with ion-activatable class, hover stays as long as the hold is taking, good job!

One more thing that i found is the class ion-activated is removed on Android on pointercancel event (fired on touchmove) - this is not blocker because it works much better anyway. (i think there is no need to create new issue for this)
On ios, hover stays despite the touchmove. I also checked the application with the Ionic 5 version and on Android also the hover remains despite the touchmove. I found the reason behind this is the last fix for ripple effect when scrolling.

I think we can live with the difference and your fix for contextevent is sufficient. Good job and thanks!

Glad to hear the issue is resolved.

The other behaviors you noted align more closely with how native iOS and Android apps behave. The activated state should be removed when scrolling (This is what pointercancel controls). There is a bug in Safari where the pointercancel event does not fire under certain scenarios, but I believe that behavior existed even before the fix in 0b275af was implemented.

#25352 (comment) has sample videos if you are interested in all the details.

I will keep this issue open until the fix has merged into main. Thanks for the report!

Thanks for the issue. This has been resolved via #25551, and a fix will be available in an upcoming release of Ionic Framework.
