• Whenever a person tries to search for a stream in the search box provided in the streams' side menu in
  mobile version of chat.zulip.org, the menu closes itself.

Instructions For Reproduction:-

1. Go to https://chat.zulip.org from the mobile browser.
2. Login with valid credentials.
3. Open the side-menu of streams.
4. Tap on the search box to enable keyboard.

• After following these steps, one sees that the menu closes itself to go back to the home-page.

Hey @MadElf1337 this repo is for the react native app. What you are showing is the webapp in a mobile browser, can you move this to the zulip/zulip repo?

I can't reproduce. Can you provide a more detailed description or point out what I didn't do in order to reach where you encountered the bug? (an actual GIF instead of 3 images strung together would be more helpful)

Note: what's shown above is the intended behavior, if you were trying to search in the search input through a different method it's likely that it's unintended user behavior, which would call for an UI/UX enhancement and not bug resolvation.

@synicalsyntax Well, it is still happening to me and also happened to Tommy Ip, as he said that he can reproduce
What browser are you using?

[synicalsyntax]

@MadElf1337 Did you take the exact steps shown in the GIF? I tested through mobile view (developer tools) on Chrome & Firefox Mac OS X, and Safari iOS for actual mobile testing.

[MadElf1337]

Yeah..I took them exactly like that

[MadElf1337]

Well, it may not work like that on mobile view, try it on an actual android phone

@tommyip Are you on Android? If so this may just be an Android problem.

[tommyip]

@synicalsyntax it's either an Android/Chrome issue, or a performance issue. I can reproduce it semi-reliably in Android 8.1. Sometimes the sidebar just collapse instantly, or the search box appear but then the sidebar closes after a second.

[synicalsyntax]

Yeah, likely an Android only issue then, since I can't reproduce on iOS/Safari. Pinging @brockwhittaker to see what's up.
