InputField Visibility trouble

[KornyAS]

I have a bug: my Plugin object locate in my global obj and after run - he become DontDestroyOnLoad's object, it's all right, but my InputField object locate in other object, for instance "Ghoul" which is inactive from the start, when I open this "Ghoul" it's also all right, it works perfectly.
Thing is, when I close this Ghoul and switch from my app to youtube, for instance, and switch back to my app and enable Ghoul - I saw that no InputField exist because he is still invisible. It's impossible to fix this by enabling/disabling Ghoul or any other object. But when I close Ghoul and switch my app to youtube again, switch back and enable Ghoul - InputField become visible again. How it can be fixed? I have no idea, when I tried to check in Update the visibility state - I saw false, but InputField was visible. I have to this bug be fixed as soon as possible.
Help me please....

• Noticed just right now that if you open notification panel - InputField will dissapear and you have to disable and enable InputField parent to make it visible. But it happens very rarely.

There are many different cases with visibility, so you have to control visibility of inputfields by yourself. When application lost focus hide it and show when it return to user. There are special method for that SetVisible.

Yes, I tried, I tried also make it visible in Update but unsuccessfully. It just stay invisible while I execute SetVisible(true) in Update.

So, any idea how to fix it?

I don't know..
I guess, this is architecture issue of your app, and no plugin

SOLVED

If someone has the same bug, try to replace method OnEnable() from

private void OnEnable () {
    if (_isMobileInputCreated) {
        this.SetVisible (true);
    }
}

to

private void OnEnable () {
    base.Start();
    StartCoroutine(InitialzieOnNextFrame());
}

and also replace method OnDisable() from

private void OnDisable() {
    if (_isMobileInputCreated) {
        this.SetFocus (false);
        this.SetVisible (false);
    }
}

to

private void OnDisable() {
    RemoveNative();
}

It will work for everyone, just make sure that you make _inputObjectText.FontSize multiplication by ratio just once.
For instance, create a bool variable and make like this:

if (isFirstTime) {
    isFirstTime = false;
    _config.FontSize = ((float)_inputObjectText.fontSize) * ratio;
} else {
    _config.FontSize = ((float)_inputObjectText.fontSize);
}

Had same issue with DontDestroyOnLoad UI panels. @Almazikman's solution worked, but the overlay inputfield wasn't disappearing when I closed the panel after opening it more than once in different scenes. I added following public member which is called only for DontDestroyOnLoad panels, this is working now.

public void SetCustomVisibilityOff()
{
	if (_isMobileInputCreated)
	{
		this.SetFocus(false);
		this.SetVisible(false);
		RemoveNative();
	}
}

From where you're calling this method??

[Shantibhushan95]

I added this method as a public member of MobileInputField.cs and am calling the method from a script attached to the DontDestroyOnLoad ui panels containing an inputfield whenever the panel needs to be closed.
