A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

So about the Keyboard not opening on tapping text fields, seems like I have reproductible scenarii:
• it never happens if I tap *exactly* inside the text field
• it always happens if I tap on the bound between the text field and the nearest component
I think that’s why my workaround *kinda* work: it makes the safely tappable zone bigger
It also seems like only the *first time* I tap a textfield matters: afterwards, it works or doesn’t work until I restart the app

should I add this to <https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/170188271> as a comment ?

i just realized there’s already a similar comment so nevermind :sweat_smile:

<@U016WFT4249> this is exactly the reproducible behavior I’ve noticed as well. What makes the problem more pronounced is that styling the `BasicTextField` is challenging, for instance trying to give it more height to increase the click-to-focus zone results in the input area in the wrong place.

you'll be happy to hear that the API shape is being reworked to allow for easier custom decorations that are counted within the interactive/focusable area :slightly_smiling_face:
