Menu2InputDelegate.onSelect not triggered on touch devices in SDK 8.4.x

I recently upgraded to SDK 8.4.0 and then 8.4.1, and for the first time tested touch-based devices such as the Venu 4 and Vivoactive 6. On these devices, Menu2InputDelegate.onSelect no longer seems to be triggered when tapping a menu item.

I am using CustomMenu, not Menu2. On button-based devices such as the Fenix series, this still works as expected, even when interacting via touch rather than buttons.

Switching back to SDK 8.3.0 resolves the issue, which makes this look like a regression in SDK 8.4.x.

So far, I have only tested this in the simulator. I do not have access to real touch-based devices, so I am not sure whether this is a simulator-only issue or also affects physical devices.

Is anyone else seeing this behavior?

I have also created a bug report for this issue:
Menu2InputDelegate.onSelect not triggered on touch devices in SDK 8.4.x

I will see if there is anyone among my users that I am in touch with who owns one of these devices and can confirm whether the issue also occurs on physical hardware, or if it is limited to the simulator.

I just tried on Venu 3 actual device and Venu 4 and Venu 3 simulator, but everything works fine for me.

A difference since 8.4.x is that some errors that were not produced before now are errors indeed. For example I had a device by zero error in the code, but it wasn't actually zero before because it was a float and since 8.4.x it is handled as zero and not as 0.000000000003456927345 or some other random thing.

Are you using Menu2 or CustomMenu?

I am not seeing any errors either. On the affected devices, onSelect simply does not get called.

Thanks. I also tested this on a second computer and see the same result: onSelect does not fire on touch devices. That suggests it is not an environment issue, but something in my code that does not work correctly with SDK 8.4.x.

Compared to your example, I am using a few additional options in CustomMenu, but removing them does not change the behavior. I also tried simplifying my delegate, but that did not help either.

Try using

onMenuItem()

instead of

onSelect()

It might get you past this problem. I use onMenuItem all the time with Menu2. It's working fine with the va6 and Venu4 in the sim. I don't have either device, but I've had no error reports from users of my apps.

Do you mean as part of Menu2InputDelegate? If so, what is the function signature? I cannot find this documented anywhere. There is an onMenuItem() in MenuInputDelegate, but no equivalent documented for Menu2InputDelegate.

It’s getting even weirder. I figured out that tapping the last menu item does call onSelect(). Once that happens, whatever is stuck suddenly gets unstuck, and all the other menu items start working as well.

When the last menu item is tapped, it pushes a new view. After popping that view and returning to the original menu, everything starts working. So maybe the view push/pop cycle may be what triggers the fix.
