Dropdown List focus - animation delay

Greetings!

I am using the SfDropdownList control with the Bootstrap Theme in a Blazor Server app. I have noticed a delay when the user clicks in the control in order to display the popup. Using the Bootsrap theme, this appears like the control takes the focus blue border twice, like it flashes, and almost after a second the popup with the items appears.

I have attached two sample screen recordings, from your demo page (https://blazor.syncfusion.com/demos/dropdown-list/default-functionalities), one with the bootstrap theme and one with the Material theme. In the later, when the user clicks and the control takes focus, instead of the popup appearing instantly, there is an animation which displays the bottom border line growing to purple color. 

I believe that in Bootstrap, the same thing happens but without any noticeble effect. Is there any way to disable this animation so the control opens instantly without that delay?

Best Regards,
Sotiris

Hi Sotiris,

 

We have included the fix for the issue “Popup opens with a delay in Dropdown List when hosted” with our package version “29.1.41”. Therefore, we recommend upgrading to our latest version to resolve the current issue.

 

Rootcause:

When the DropDownList component is focused, we add styles for its active state. Due to this, before the e-input-focus class is added, the control briefly shows a blur border twice.

Thank you for the update.
The DropdownList sample has been verified using the Bootstrap 5 theme in the latest version (31.1.19). A slight delay has been observed in the appearance of the focus border upon clicking the input. Kindly confirm whether this is the reported issue.


If the issue differs, please share a sample that reproduces the problem, along with the steps to replicate it and a video illustration. These details will assist in identifying the concern accurately and providing an appropriate resolution.
Thank you for the understanding and cooperation.

Regards,
