datepicker with ng-focus throws $apply error

[martinstein]

After the changes in issue #1922, the suggested fix for keeping the old "open on focus" behavior is to use is-open="dt.open" and ng-focus = "dt.open = true".

However, using ng-focus this way causes the datepicker to break with the error:

$apply already in progress
[$rootScope:inprog] http://errors.angularjs.org/undefined/$rootScope/inprog?p0=%24apply

This seems to be a problem for multiple people (in the discussion of #2149):
#2149 (comment)
#2149 (comment)
#2149 (comment)
#2149 (comment)

So, this looks important for many people, especially since it occurs because of the breaking changes of the #1922 fix.

Stuck on this bug too...
I don't understand why this was totally removed. Shouldn't that be up to users of the module to determine how to handle accessibility issues?

This is resolved in AngularJS 1.3 . However, to fix this for older versions, we can use the fix described in angular/angular.js@54f0bc0 .

It's likely we'll move forward with AngularJS 1.3 soon so a fix for this may not be needed once the new release with the AngularJS 1.3 releases is cut. I'll leave this open until then or if someone once to submit a fix before the 1.3 transition.

@chrisirhc: could you please tell me if there's any update on this bug? I'm using latest version (1.3.11) and seems to persist.

Closing this, as we are moving to Angular 1.3 with 0.13.0.
