Search button text focus bug

[jingfeng-cheah]

Have you checked for an existing issue?

• I have searched the existing issues

Flutter Quill Version

10.8.5

Steps to Reproduce

1. Type some text in the editor
2. Click on the search button and keep on typing in the search bar

Expected results

The cursor should stay in the search bar as the user types the word that he/she want to search.

Actual results

Halfway while typing in the search bar, the cursor will suddenly jump into the editor and the user ends up typing inside the editor instead of the search bar.

Additional Context

Details

I am using Flutter Web.

Have you had any luck finding a way to solve this? I have the same problem.

I added autofocus: true and onSubmitted: (value) => _moveToNext() to the textfield inside their source code, seems to do the trick

Running into the same issue. @jingfeng-cheah do you mind elaborating on your workaround? I added onSubmitted (autofocus: true was already set) to the TextField in the search_dialog.dart file but I don't see any change

            child: TextField(
              style: widget.dialogTheme?.inputTextStyle,
              decoration: InputDecoration(
                isDense: true,
                suffixText: matchShown,
                suffixStyle: widget.dialogTheme?.labelTextStyle,
              ),
              autofocus: true,
              onChanged: _textChanged,
              textInputAction: TextInputAction.done,
              keyboardType: TextInputType.text,
              controller: _textController,
              onSubmitted: (value) => _moveToNext(),
            ),

Hi @mike-mathieu, I did the same change as the code you've shown, it should work. Maybe you have other widgets requesting focus?

[mike-mathieu]

Hmm that's so weird - I couldn't get it to work with that approach. Ended up hacking something together where it requests focus back to the search input TextField after the selection is updated. Definitely not ideal but it seems to get the job done.

Still not working with flutter_quill version 11.5.0. Are there any updates or workarounds?
