What happened?

I have discovered a bug with report creation and editing on mobile browsers. Any time I click on a field where you would type, such as a filter or to save and name a report, the report resets itself to the default settings again. I have reproduced this issue in Firefox, Edge and Chrome. See the screen recording.

I can edit existing reports if I avoid fields where I need to type, this seems to only affect the text fields. This makes it impossible to add a new report because it needs to be named in order to be saved.

How can we reproduce the issue?

I have attached a screen recording of the issue. Add a new widget or edit and existing one and attempt to set a filter on a note or category by typing. Also, when choosing to save the new report, it immediately resets.

Research direction
Investigate the report editing workflow on mobile. Look for event handlers that respond to click or focus on input fields within report forms. Common culprits include touch event conflicts or unintended form resets. Check the relevant React components in the src/reports folder. Consider using browser dev tools to trace events.
