Why does Android OS 8 WebVew with HTML select tag crash the app

Question

I\'ve got a hybrid Cordova Android app, and the app crashes when user tap on a drop-down box in my WebView running on Android OS 8. I\'ve created a simple page

Answer 1

After some investigation, I've isolated the issue to WebView inside Fragment on OS8 only. My workaround is to use Activity instead of Fragment for that particular flow. It seems to me an Android defect in Fragment.
