Strange cross-browser behavior with text/form input in chrome??

Discovered a very strange issue with form inputs when using arguably the most popular browser, Google Chrome. Essentially, when creating standard text form inputs - like these: https://snippet.webix.com/22b9eaaf - there is a frustrating issue when it comes to selecting text that has been entered into a text box.

By selecting I mean just a normal single-click/drag across the entered text to highlight the text to then copy, cut, paste, etc. Pretty normal stuff for most all web users. Here’s the issue, when highlighting form input text in Chrome, if the users cursor moves even slightly out of range of the text input box and the text box label itself while dragging to highlight, the selection then disappears and the user has to try to highlight again much more precisely. This becomes quite frustrating if the user is in a hurry and has to highlight/copy/paste from multiple input boxes. This does not happen in Firefox or Microsoft Edge, so I assume it’s a Webix Chrome compatibility issue.

The problem can be seen for yourself using one of Webix’s own samples in Chrome, like this one for example https://snippet.webix.com/22b9eaaf. Just type something into an input box click then drag outside of the parent container and you will see the highlight disappear.

This issue has proven to be quite frustrating and difficult to solve.
Has anybody else had this strange problem and know of a solution?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

Intregal, you’re the best! Thank you so much for the quick reply and the clever solution! I’m very impressed with your workaround. I’m definitely going to try implementing it to prevent this Webix/Chrome issue.

If anybody on the Webix team is reading this, I would greatly appreciate it if you looked deeper into this.

While this workaround does solve the issue, it might be a good idea to try and fix whatever is happening under the hood of Webix to prevent Chrome compatibility problems in the future. Thanks!
