[EuiPopover] Removed `false` as an option for `initialFocus`, removed unnecessary focus logic #6044

cee-chen · 2022-07-11T23:41:14Z

Summary

I think what's happening is actually due to react-focus-on's autoFocus behavior. If I set EuiFocusTrap's autoFocus={false} when initialFocus={false} - focus is removed completely from the document. This is actually technically 'correct' behavior if a focus trap is enabled on the popover - because the toggling button is outside the popover, focus actually shouldn't have remained on it.

I think the best way forward frankly (after #5784) is to remove initialFocus={false} as an option at all. It no longer really makes sense after its first implementation in #4768, since false/focusing the panel is basically the default at this point.

⚠️ The main fix is 4c9bac5, but I actually realized while testing more that there's some underlying / overlapping focus behavior going on.

I initially thought the initialFocus overrides were the issue (84fe068), but after some more testing I quickly realized the auto focus behavior is coming from EuiFocusTrap/react-focus-on/react-focus-lock itself.

After even more thinking, I realized there's a lot of overlapping logic between EuiPopover's updateFocus logic and the focus logic that comes OOTB with FocusTrap/focus-lock ... so I experimented with removing updateFocus completely (74e38dc) and bam - everything still works as-is 🙈

We should definitely test thoroughly considering EuiPopover's ubiquitousness. I'll make a QA list below:

- since the panel popover is now always used as a default, false feels unnecessary - initialFocus should only be passed if something other than the popover parent should be focused

+ do not override to the panel if it's already set + update spec tests to check for `data-autofocus` to confirm that react-focus-on is being passed the correct `initialFocus` as expected

AFAICT, this is already being handled automatically by `EuiFocusTrap`, and works exactly as before / in Cypress, so I don't see the need for the extra focus logic

- now that EuiPopoverFocus no longer has an `updateFocus` method, it turns out the focus fighting is coming from the focus trap

Dang that would be cool if we could outsource the focus logic. This is definitely a case of unintentional overlap. The EuiPopover logic was added when it used a different focus trap library and react-focus-on/lock has gotten even better in the last couple years.

Going to do some test on the various components tomorrow!

thompsongl · 2022-07-13T21:20:51Z

Still doing manual testing but commenting to say that all instances of initialFocus=false in Kibana appear to just avoid focusing the first focusable element, so no changes will be necessary.

Super happy about this 🙌

Ran through a bunch of components manually and found no focus regressions. Even the ownFocus=false scenario behaves as it did, which I had initial concerns about (I thought perhaps updateFocus still added focus, but it did not).

I wouldn't mind having one other person take a look, though, as this change has far-reaching implications. Also perhaps considering whether to not have this go into Kibana before 8.4 FF. cc// @chandlerprall

cee-chen · 2022-07-14T15:47:23Z

Agreed on getting a second pair of eyes/QA, but I'd argue this PR has the same implications that #5784 does (less so because it doesn't actually affect functionality), which is already in Kibana 8.4. That being said I wouldn't rush to get it in before FF though, if it doesn't make it, it doesn't make it, not a big deal

Yeah agreed. The only difference is Kibana teams have had 2 months to catch any bugs from #5784, whereas if this merged those teams would only have a couple days to catch regressions. More timing than severity was my point there.

cee-chen · 2022-07-14T16:15:15Z

Gotcha, makes sense! PRs like this definitely make me wish we had the ability to run Kibana CI against EUI dev branches, their FTR tests are super robust and would def catch regressions. Maybe we can bribe the inestimable @kertal sometime? 😇

chandlerprall · 2022-07-14T16:28:53Z

Very excited at the prospect of deleting this code! I'll take a pass, but may not be until next week. Having only skimmed the changes, I don't think there's a need to avoid 8.4.

Sounds like a very useful idea ... so the idea is planted 🪴 ... which is a start

@chandlerprall Quick ping on QAing/approving this PR!

chandlerprall

Played with a number of popovers across the examples, making changes to / adding some initialFocus definitions and everything continues working as expected 🎉

cee-chen · 2022-07-20T17:24:12Z

Thanks Chandler!! Merging now. Just to confirm, it sounds like this PR won't be released in time for Kibana 8.4, which I'm personally totally fine with - let me know if anyone feels strongly otherwise!
