Deployment Type

NetBox Cloud

NetBox Version

v4.0.8

Python Version

3.10

Steps to Reproduce

(Previous issue #16302 was closed, but I am pretty certain that this is in fact a bug, not an intended feature.)

This seems to be the case for all objects in Netbox, both in the Create New screen and in the Edit screen. I will use an IP address for this example.

Click on "Add new IP address"
Left click to the left of the name of any field (see the red X in the image below)
image

The field will now act as if it was clicked, even though it obviously was not clicked
There seems to be a limit to how far left you can go before this stops occuring.

Expected Behavior

When clicking outside of the field, the field should not act as if it was clicked.
Clicking on the red X in the image should do nothing (and close any open drop-downs).

Observed Behavior

The field acts as if it was clicked, and the drop down opens up.

@DanSheps commented on GitHub (Aug 9, 2024):

This is a result of being used for the column definition. It should be fairly trivial to wrap the label in a "col-sm-3" div and then have the label just there but I have not tested or anything.

If anyone is interested in taking this up, please feel free to ask for assignment here.
