Unable to type in TextField after exiting screen with swipe gesture

[kalucky0]

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a Flutter app with two screens: Screen A and Screen B.
2. Screen A contains a TextField.
3. Navigate from Screen A to Screen B.
4. Swipe from the left edge of Screen B to navigate back to Screen A.
5. Try to type in the TextField on Screen A.

Expected results

The keyboard should appear when the TextField on Screen A is focused, allowing the user to type.

Actual results

The keyboard does not appear, and it is impossible to type in the TextField on Screen A after returning from Screen B using the swipe gesture.

Seems like regression of #92053, #96242.

[intelryzen]

It seems to work well in Flutter master version (3.22.0-36.0.pre.48).

[jonmountjoy]

Will there be a hot fix for this? It breaks a lot things. (Thanks for reporting).

[katunins]

flutter - 3.22.0

[wyqlxf]

@intelryzen Yes, It seems to work well in Flutter master version (3.22.0-33.0.pre) too.

Thank you for the report.
There seem to be two issues here: unable to enter text and TextField is not auto focused when swiping back to previous page.

• For the 1st issue: I also see it's unable to enter text when using swipe gesture back to previous screen on Flutter stable channel 3.22.0. But it seems to be fixed partly on master channel (3.22.0-36.0.pre.54) as I can refocus and enter text on the field.
  I also tested this on the previous stable release 3.19.6: the result is the same on Flutter master channel.

• For the 2nd issue: I see there's an open issue addressing this case at TextField is not focused when returning to page using swipe back gesture #96766. So please follow up on it for updates.

I will mark this as fixed on the latest Flutter master channel for unable to enter text issue. The fix should land on the stable channel in future releases.

[jonmountjoy]

@huycozy any idea when this (at least the 1st issue you reference above) will land? I would have thought such a serious regression would appear in a hot fix, but I see a hot fix just went out without this.

[huycozy]

@jonmountjoy It will take a couple of months to land stable fixes to release channels. You can read more about the build release channels here https://github.com/flutter/flutter/wiki/Flutter-build-release-channels. If you can find the related PR that fixed the 1st issue, you can submit a Request a cherry-pick.

Looks like this was fixed in 3.22.0-19.0.pre as it is broken in 3.22.0-18.0.pre.

I've made a CP request to add this to stable #149178 🤞
