Hi everyone,
to be honest I'm not sure if I found a bug or if I'm doing something wrong. I checked the FAQs and the manual but could not find anything.
The bug
Using the below minimal example (stripped down from my actual programm), I'm creating multiple screens on top of each other.
Clicking the "click me" button will open a new screen. In then screen I want to push a new screen when entering the second "Input" with the text "blub1; blub2".
As soon as I focus on the Input, the new screen is pushed.
But from that moment on I can not do anything anymore, the app is basically stuck.
I'm using textual 3.5.0 (and 3.2.0) and I know it worked once with an older version (2.1.2)
The minimal example is:
from textual import on
from textual.app import App, ComposeResult
from textual.containers import Container, Grid
from textual.events import DescendantFocus
from textual.screen import ModalScreen
from textual.widgets import (
Button,
Input,
)
class OnFocusScreen(ModalScreen):
def compose(self) -> ComposeResult:
yield Grid(
Button("A", variant="error", id="A"),
id="dialog",
)
def on_button_pressed(self, event: Button.Pressed) -> None:
self.dismiss()
class OnClickScreen(ModalScreen):
def compose(self) -> ComposeResult:
yield Grid(
Input(
id="test_input",
value="abcd",
),
Input(
id="focus_test_input",
value="focus me",
),
id="new-entry-dialog",
)
@on(DescendantFocus, "#focus_test_input")
def labels_input_focused(self) -> None:
self.app.push_screen(OnFocusScreen())
class FocusTestApp(App):
def compose(self) -> ComposeResult:
with Container(id="focus_test_ui"):
yield Button("click_me", id="clickme", variant="primary")
@on(Button.Pressed, "#clickme")
def pressed_new(self, event: Button.Pressed) -> None:
self.push_screen(OnClickScreen())
# self.push_screen(OnFocusScreen())
def main():
FocusTestApp().run(inline=False)
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()Thanks a lot for your help.
