Topic: MDBDropdown is closing unexpectedly
Carlos M. Casas Cuadrado free asked 3 years ago
I just migrated from mdbreact4 to mdbreact5 and the dropdowns don't behave as expected. I searched in the docs and the forum and I couldn't find an answer. Could you please help?
*Expected behavior*I have a navbar with a dropdown. The dropdown has a small form, so it should stay as long as the user doesn't click away from the dropdown or the submit button. In particular, it should stay visible when I click any of the input components in the form. This used to work in mdbreact v4.
*Actual behavior*In mdbreact 5, as soon as I click on the input components, the dropdown closes...so I can't add anything to the input component. Going to the input component using TAB works, but I don't want users to do that.
Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.)
<MDBNavItem>
<MDBDropdown>
<MDBDropdownToggle caret nav>Show form</MDBDropdownToggle>
<MDBDropdownMenu right>
<form>
[...]
</form>
</MDBDropdownMenu>
</MDBDropdown>
</MDBNavItem>
I saw another post saying that I should set autoClose to false, but I don't seem able to do that....
Thanks for the help!

Hi!
I see the problem. Thanks for reporting this bug - we'll fix it as soon as possible :)
For now, I'm afraid that I don't see any solution. Maybe you could try to use button + form in the modal combination?
Best regards

Hi! Thanks for the quick answer! Luckily for me, I'm just playing around learning the framework, so no need for a workaround :-)
