www.google.com - Labels option can not change state

[webcompat-bot]

URL: https://www.google.com/maps/

Browser / Version: Firefox 105.0
Operating System: Windows 10
Tested Another Browser: Yes Chrome

Problem type: Site is not usable
Description: Buttons or links not working
Steps to Reproduce:
The "turn labels off" button stopped working around the time of the latest update release (Sep 23, 2022), so now I'm stuck with all the annoying mumbo-jumbo obscuring the actual Orthophoto (satellite) view. If you go in the satellite view => Layers and try to turn the Labels off, nothing happens, the box remains ticked. I've tried removing all Google cookies, to no avail. Strangely enough, the tick box for Google Earth view works perfectly fine. The issue is non-existent in Chrome.

Browser Configuration

• None

We appreciate your report. I was able to reproduce the issue:

Tested with:

Browser / Version: Firefox Release 105.0.1 (64-bit)/ Firefox Nightly 107.0a1 (2022-09-28) (64-bit) /Chrome Version Version 106.0.5249.62 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Operating System: Windows 10 PRO x64

Notes:

1. Reproducible regardless of the status of ETP.
2. Reproducible on the latest build of Firefox Nightly and Release.
3. Works as expected using Chrome.

Moving this to NeedsDiagnosis for further investigations.

There are a custom checkbox and button with disabled="false":

<button aria-checked="true" disabled="false" ved="1i:0,t:108128,e:9,p:Fj1kY97CKN-aptQPn8KrmA4:89" role="checkbox" jstcache="390" jsaction="layerswitcher.intent.labels" class="xzUcD" jsan="7.xzUcD,0.aria-checked,0.disabled,0.ved,0.role,22.jsaction"> <div jstcache="391" class="xXq44b iBueH" jsan="7.xXq44b,7.iBueH"></div> <div jstcache="392" style="display:none"></div> <label class="GKsdTb">Labels</label> </button>

but false on a disabled attribute has no effect. From https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/common-microsyntaxes.html#boolean-attribute :

To represent a false value, the attribute has to be omitted altogether.

So this button is "disabled" as long as attribute is present. Firefox doesn't fire events on disabled elements, so this would be https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1741231 and essentially https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1653882.

There is a discussion to change the behaviour in Chrome to match Firefox
see https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/9i0H0J0BzE4 and whatwg/html#5886.

I'll try to contact Google to see if someone could take a look at this since we keep getting reports.

I just ran into this issue. Now that the holidays are over, has there been anything from Google about this? Thanks!

Once you have completed the above steps you can deselect labels.

No response so far unfortunately. I've filed a bug to investigate if we can add an intervention https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1812074 on our side.

@ANCT1 Thanks!
@ksy36 Thanks for that, hope you hear something back!

Funny enough, while I was in the middle of writing a site patch for this one, it appears that Google fixed it.

Thank you all!! Now I can tell if it's a dirt or paved road, among other things. ============================= Blessings,
