React 18 - HeadlessUI dialog and transitions stopped working

[lveillard]

Hello there.
This is more an issue of headlessUI than react 18, but it may help you understand the effect of the upgrade from react 17 to react 18.

I can't realize why headlessUI components require some code update, and i guess it's already obvious for you guys, but if it is not the case maybe it would be interesting to understand why it breaks this package and then add some extra instructions to the upgrade guide.

tailwindlabs/headlessui#997

Hope it helps,
Thanks!

Hi,

My comment may be off subject, but I experimented a little react 18 on my own in some of my side projects. And my conclusion is that most of the libraries will need to upgrade to use react 18 because the written code isn't 'react-18 compliant'. ie: unsafely reading from refs at render, they need to find a way to support suspension and a lot of bad practices we were all doing before.

Closing in favor of tailwindlabs/headlessui#681.
