Ionic-framework: bug: small ion-fab-button with a ion-fab-list has a wrong click event area

[Yohandah]

Bug Report

Ionic version:


[x] 5.x

Current behavior:

If a ion-fab has a ion-fab-button size="small" with a ion-fab-list, the area of the ion-fab will trigger the ion-fab-list even if the ion-fab-button isn't pressed. Which makes the click event trigger without actually pressing the ion-fab-button. I encountered this issue while binding a (click) event to the ion-fab-button

Expected behavior:

The ion-fab-list should be triggered only when the ion-fab-button is pressed, and not the ion-fab area itself.
Or the small ion-fab-button area should take the whole ion-fab area (so it's triggered when pressing the ion-fab area).

Related code:

• Press the red area of the first fab (normal size) : the ion-fab-button is triggered (ripple effect, click event, pointer is changing, ...), the ion-fab-list as well
• Press the red area of the second fab (small size) : the ion-fab-list is triggered but not the ion-fab-button (no ripple effect, no click event, pointer doesn't change, ...)

Thanks for the issue. I am going to close this as this is not a bug in Ionic Framework. We add margin to the inner ion-fab-button when it is small to keep it aligned with the list. You can remove the margin if you would like, but you will need to re-align the inner buttons as well.

@liamdebeasi Okay thanks .. I still don't get why clicking into the margin of the ion-fab-button opens the ion-fab-list but do not trigger the cursor, ripple effect, and click event of the ion-fab-button then .. I thought it was wrongly binded to the ion-fab area ?

Oh I didn't even notice that. The ripple effect only fires when you click the ion-fab-button. It looks like ion-fab listens for a click event on the host, which is why clicking the button margin area opens the list, but does not trigger the ripple effect.

The ripple effect not firing is probably a bug.

@liamdebeasi Yeah that's my issue! Because I need to catch when the ion-fab-list opens or close and this little area doesn't allow me to track this since the ion-fab-button doesn't catch the (click) event.

The ripple effect not firing is probably a bug.

There's also the cursor that's not into "click" (pointer) mode.

If I have time I'll try to look into it and work on a bugfix but I'm not sure I'm up to the task haha ^^". Maybe switching the margin to padding could work.

What you described makes sense. Thanks for following up, otherwise I would have missed that 😄 .
