requestFocus is consuming some "onAction" events

[NemesisMate]

Well, I'm experimenting a problem with Lemur's GuiGlobals.requestFocus. I use it to set the focus to a text field:

GuiGlobals.getInstance().requestFocus(textField);

The textfield is in a custom element that I added to the scene with:

guiNode.attachChild(myElement);

All works as I desire until I remove the element and I want my old input functionality back. I restore the input listeners and I remove the element from the node but the "onAction" is no long receiving pressed events (when I release a key, so the pressed value is false on the "onAction", it works well but not for pressed ones, when true).

So, in resume:

1. I remove my player input listener.
2. I show the lemur's element on the screen (I attach the element node).
3. I set the focus on added the lemur's element.
4. I remove the lemur's element from the screen.
5. I add my player input listener.
   • result: all key events are fine but the "press" ones (just the analogs and the key releases actions).

I found that with GuiGlobals.getInstance().requestFocus(rootNode); it works fine again but I'm not sure if this is the right procedure and if it is not leading to further problems. All help is appreciated.

I'm having the same issue. The TextField I'm using is not custom it's just a regular TextField. The GuiGlobals.getInstance().requestFocus(rootNode); does the trick so I'm fine with the work around for now.

Thanks for keeping this one on my radar, guys. So far the fix seems non-trivial but I am thinking about it.

This should be fixed now and will show up in version 1.10.
