Samsung Keyboard freeze the app when changing value of obscureText of TextFormField #53052
Description
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a simple screen with a Form and a TextFormField inside it
- Declare a boolean value which determines if the text has to be obscured in TextFormField, initialize it in initState, use it as this
TextFormField(..., obscureText: !visible) - Open keyboard on a Samsung device and start editing text in the TextFormField
- Change the value of the boolean and make the text visible by setting the state
setState(() => visible = true);
Expected results:
The text becomes visible.
Actual results:
The app and the keyboard freeze. I have to close it and remove from recent apps to have it working again.
It is unnecessary to say that everything works fine on other phones, on Samsung with a different keyboard and even on iOS.
It shows no error with flutter run --verbose, but if I look closely at the entire logcat I find this line repeated a lot of times:
03-22 17:21:16.782 20808 20808 V InputMethodManager: Starting input: tba=android.view.inputmethod.EditorInfo@80a14e nm : it.resmedia.italk ic=io.flutter.plugin.editing.InputConnectionAdaptor@83ea26f
Logs
No error or warning or info is shown by flutter analyze regarding the login screen: everything is up-to-date and properly implemented.
