Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

This has started to happen since updating to v25.11.0. It happens in the web app only and happens every time I enter a new transaction. When I select a category, or account, the category becomes selected on the first tap. But the picker does not go away. I have to tap the selection again at which point the picker goes away and the category (or account) is selected.

How can we reproduce the issue?

Open the actual Actual webapp on Android using chrome. Add a new transaction and select the category or account.

Attached image is what happens once you click the category.

Actual is selfhosted in docker via Unraid Community App

I have the same issue but with full desktop interface loaded on mobile Chrome. Hosting Actual on Proxmox, device is Samsung Fold 7 (thus high res screen / full desktop site).

I need to click the actual category text for it to behave as expected.

Could someone on android please check https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/pull/6514 to verify if it fixes the problem?

IOS works fine with or without this fix.

It does not. Just tried it on Android (Chrome). The issue is fixed with payee and account picker but still occurs 100% of the time with the category picker. Category still requires a second tap to dismiss it

Some progress:
I am able to reproduce the bug using chrome Simulate mobile devices with device mode on Linux.

Using git bisect:

8019d9f61b is the first bad commit

More precisely, it is from the change of babel-plugin-react-compiler from 19.1.0-rc.3 to ^1.0.0

This same commit introduces a bug on the desktop mode on android tabled (see video posted here): category can not be selected using touch.

It will be difficult for me to correct this further (I have no knowledge of react).

Commenting that I'm seeing the same issue on iOS (iphone) both in Safari and PWA, in mobile mode. Choosing the category requires two taps, as opposed to choosing the payee or account.
iOS: 18.7.2
Actual: v26.2.0.
