st.rerun not updating state of clicked button to false and entering an infinite loop

• I have searched the existing issues for similar issues.
• I added a very descriptive title to this issue.
• I have provided sufficient information below to help reproduce this issue.

Summary

In my code I generate/fetch some data in a part of the script and below I allow the user to edit this data which has to be passed back to the part above. Something like this:

Reproducible Code Example

import streamlit as st


def fetch_process_data(user_input):
    data = ["abc", "def"]
    processed = user_input if user_input is not None else data
    return data, processed


data, processed = fetch_process_data(st.session_state.get("user_input"))

st.session_state["edited"] = st.data_editor(processed)
if st.button("Save and run"):
    st.session_state["user_input"] = st.session_state["edited"]
    st.rerun()

st.write(data)
st.write(processed)

EDIT: just this already loops infinitely:

import streamlit as st

a = st.empty()
a.info("infinite")
if st.button("Save and run"):
    st.write("infinite")
    st.rerun()

a.info("stopped")

Steps To Reproduce

Click "save and run" in the script I provided. If you debug it you can verify the button doesn't change to false. At least on my machine.

Expected Behavior

The button should change to false after a rerun and stop the infinite loop

Current Behavior

The button doesn't update and the program goes inside the if statement over and over

Is this a regression?

• Yes, this used to work in a previous version.

Debug info

• Streamlit version:1.28.0
• Python version: 3.10.12
• Operating System: Windows 11 with WSL Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
• Browser: Edge

I can confirm that issue, had to downgrade to 1.27.0 to get my app to work again. (tried on Windows and Linux, Python 3.11.6)

hello,
I think this problem has already been reported, you can have a look:

• The combination of if st.button() and st.rerun() will cause a forever running. #7639
• st.chat_input() not resetting to None after script rerun #7629

Already reported and fixed on #7643
