Known upstream issues

[ianstormtaylor]

This is a list of known upstream issues that are not resolved yet.

Browsers

• Chrome & Safari cannot select end of inline DOM elements #3148 — Chrome & Safari cannot select end of inline DOM elements
• Firefox does not fire beforeinput events #3185 — Firefox does not fire beforeinput events
• Chrome does not fire insertFromComposition events #3303 — Chrome does not fire insertFromComposition beforeinput events
• Chrome does not fire insertFromDrop beforeinput events for files #3304 — Chrome does not fire insertFromDrop beforeinput events for files

You might have to add workarounds to these issues in your codebase. If there is a general-purpose fix for an issue we'd love a PR. But sometimes these are things we cannot work around easily (or at all) until they are fixed upstream by the browsers themselves. Please star the browser bug reports in these issues to help draw attention!

React

• Use the native beforeinput event if it's supported facebook/react#11211 — React does not listen for the real beforeinput event
• onSelectionChange event facebook/react#5785 — React does not expose the real selectionchange event

These issues are bugs in React's own logic. You may have to write workarounds for these issues in your codebase when dealing with React's synthetic events. If you are able to, it would be extremely helpful if you could pull request a fix upstream.
