bug: ion-textarea Text Selection Not Persisting on Safari about ionic-framework

[mapsandapps]

Hi! Thanks for the bug report. This appears to be a bug in WebKit, probably this one. (Text doesn't get/stay focused when using .select() on a text field in Safari.)

Thank you for your feedback @mapsandapps but are you sure it's the same issue ? Cause if I don't use the ion-textarea component and use textarea instead it work as expected OR if I wrap my select with a setTimeout of 50 ms it also work.

Exemple:

  public selectText(): void {
    setTimeout(() => {
      this.textArea.getInputElement().then((input) => input.select());
    }, 50);
  }

Could it not be a race condition ? As you can see on demo provided above when clicking in the input it briefly select all of the text for a very brief moment. And then unselect. Your webkit issue don't mention that and instead mention that it is never focus.

Hello @mapsandapps, can we have that one review one more time by any chance ?
I don't believe it's an external bug since the WebKit you provided above is not really related, thanks.

Hi @AdrienJacquard,

I'm able to reproduce this with the native textarea without Ionic Framework. You can take a look at this stackblitz and see that the issue reproduces in Safari but not Chrome.
