 The ability to edit a WP backend menu item custom url input field has not
 worked on my iPad iOS 14.4.1 using Safari and Chrome. Any text input field
 simply doesn't respond. Select choice list controls recognize touch.

 I am using Admin Menu Editor Version 1.9.9 plugin.

 issue.

 It appears that problem is in one of the JS libraries that is part of
 WordPress itself. It's a mobile compatibility library that's supposed to
 translate touch events into simulated mouse events. It doesn't seem to
 work correctly when you tap an input field that's inside a sortable list,
 like the menu item list in Admin Menu Editor.

 I don't have enough mobile development experience to replace the existing
 JS library with something better, so this bug may remain unfixed
 until/unless WordPress core developers fix the underlying issue.
