When I click on the CheckBox's label, "Select All," the dropdown closes. While if I click the TelerikCheckBox itself, it remains open.

TELERIK EDIT

Possible workarounds include:

• Wrap the clickable UI in the MultiSelect HeaderTemplate in an element with a tabindex attribute: https://blazorrepl.telerik.com/mfOlnvFk40G8PElJ33
• Cancel the MultiSelect OnClose event conditionally: https://blazorrepl.telerik.com/QpYvxvla44M3nsdp57

The following, took a bit of effort to identify where the behaviour was failing for a screen reader.

for all scenarios below the multi-select component currently has items (more than one) in it as selected.

GOOD

if keyboard focus is on text edit, and u leave the component (w/ tab key), when revisiting the component (w/ shift+tab keys) all selected items are read out correctly

BAD

if keyboard focus is on selected item, and u leave the component (w/ tab key), when revisiting the component (w/ shift+tab key) the focused (selected) item is not read out correctly.

(sorry example read out not provided)

GOOD

selected items are read out correctly when;

• closing items panel w/ escape key,
• closing items panel when selecting an item
  

BAD

delete item;

• remove all selected items w/ escape key does not inform a screen reader user of the outcome; that no item is now selected (should state something).

• removing last item with backspace does not inform screen reader of the outcome; that no item is now selected (should state something). I swear this worked once with firefox.
  

the following behaviour also occurs after removing all items via a keyboard, the keyboard focus becomes lost;

• (BAD) most times u can't press a right / down key into the text section of the multi-select (experienced w/ firefox too)
• (GOOD) most times can press alt+down to bring the panel (experienced w/ firefox too)
• (GOOD) u can still tab out to next clickable object

Description

In Firefox, there are occasions in which multiple items remain focused (k-focus class is not removed from the blurred item)

Reproduction (if bug)

1. Create a multiselect and set AutoClose="false".
2. Open the component and select a few items.
3. Close the component.
4. Open the component and select a new item.
5. Two items have the k-focus class.

Second related case:

1. Create a multiselect and set AutoClose="false".
2. Open the component and navigate up and down with the keyboard arrows.
3. Select an item.
4. The last focused item with the arrows is focused as well as the newly selected item.

REPL for reproduction

Expected (if bug)

Only one item should have the k-focus class at a time.

Browser (if bug)

Firefox

Broken Telerik UI for Blazor version (if bug)

Testing this Select All Checkbox sample in Safari produces a different result compared to other browsers.

Click on the CheckBox in the MultiSelect Header Template closes the popup in Safari. In other browsers (e.g. Chrome, Firefox) the popup remains open after checking the SelectAll CheckBox.

I was hoping to use the new AllowCustom feature to let users name a few areas, save those names in the backend and later show them as preselected when the user comes back so they don't have to retype the names every time they do an operation. But alas, the AllowCustom seems to only allow preselecting from what's in the Data list of values.

So code like below doesn't actually show a chip for Rome even though it's preselected. There is a workaround of setting the Data property to a list that contains the custom values I need preselected, but it feels clumsy and with the custom values I feel Multiselect should also check the selected values list for chips to render.

<TelerikMultiSelect 
   @bind-Value="@SelectedCities"
   TItem="string" TValue="string"
   AllowCustom="true"                   
   Width="400px">
</TelerikMultiSelect>

<span>Selected: @SelectedCities.Count</span>

@code {
    private List<string> SelectedCities { get; set; } = new() {"Rome"};
}
