TextFields randomly become non-editable after screen/app switch on Web

Feedback

I am facing a rare but recurring issue in FlutterFlow Web applications.

Problem:

While typing in any TextField (even a simple search field), if the user temporarily switches screens/apps/tabs and then comes back, sometimes the TextField stops accepting input.

Behavior observed:

- The TextField appears normal visually.

- Cursor/focus is lost.

- Clicking the field again sometimes does not allow typing.

- It behaves like the field has become read-only or unfocused permanently.

- This issue is random and not reproducible every time.

- It happens even when:

- Read Only = false

- No initial value is set

- No backend actions exist

- No conditional disabling exists

Environment:

- FlutterFlow Web

- Happens on browser/web app

- Rare/intermittent issue

Expected behavior:

After returning to the app/tab/screen, the TextField should remain editable normally.

Actual behavior:

Sometimes the TextField no longer accepts typing input until page refresh or other interaction.

Has anyone experienced this issue or found a reliable fix?
