I noticed ,when writing in a BasicTextField , that pressing the Android back button triggers a “de-focus” of the textfield. This results in the user having to press back twice for backwards navigation: the first press is to de-focus the text field and the second is to actually navigate to the previous screen.

Has anyone experienced this too? I assume this is by design, how to work around this (i.e. navigate back immediately without the de-focus first)?

Oh! I noticed this too and thought that maybe I did something wrong elsewhere, didn't have time to investigate yet. So it's text field who does this... 🙂

There was a previous thread about this: https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/CJLTWPH7S/p1624036533445400?thread_ts=1624036533.445400&cid=CJLTWPH7S

This is even 3 back presses actually:

1. Press BACK → hide keyboard (field is still focused)
2. Press BACK → defocus
3. Press BACK → finally go back

Thanks we’ve replied back in that thread let’s follow up there.
