HTML input option datalist tag not working properly in IOS 17.4.1

If I set an input text box connected to a datalist-options, in order to suggest pre-coded values, this is what happens:

1. The text field shows properly.
2. When I start typing, one or more coincident "options" from the datalist are shown at the bottom of the available screen.
3. When one option is selected, the data contained in it is NOT transcript to the input field.

The same webtest works fine on Ipad mini w/ios 15.

Try this simple code, it doesn't work:

<label for="browser">Choose your browser from the list:</label>
<input list="browsers" name="browser" id="browser">

<datalist id="browsers">
  <option value="Edge">
  <option value="Firefox">
  <option value="Chrome">
  <option value="Opera">
  <option value="Safari">
</datalist>
