(Firefox) Holding shift while clicking a checkbox causes the click to not be registered

[ndv99]

Describe the bug

In Firefox, if you hold down your shift key on a keyboard and click a checkbox, the click is not registered.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to https://vanillaframework.io/docs/base/forms#checkbox
2. Shift + click on a checkbox
3. See checkbox not being checked

Expected behavior

1. Go to https://vanillaframework.io/docs/base/forms#checkbox
2. Shift + click on a checkbox
3. See checkbox being checked

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Kubuntu 23.10
• Browser: Firefox (snap)
• Version 124.0

Additional context

This appears to be related to a "bug" in Firefox where shift+clicking checkbox labels doesn't check the checkbox. Vanilla checkboxes are also always wrapped in a label, hence the behaviour we see.

My thoughts exactly 😂

Thanks for context @ndv99, I'm not sure if there is much we can do to remedy that.

BTW, what's the context of shift+click being used? You wanted to implement some kind of batch selection?

You're absolutely right. We've implemented batch selection of machines in MAAS UI with shift+click. Works on Chrome, just not on FF :(
