Buggy treemacs projectile project renaming in X11 mode

[programmador]

I've tried to reinstall Spacemacs, always with same results. Branch is 'develop'. It started to happen maybe a month ago, maybe earlier - I do not remember when did I upgrade and how long I didn't upgrade before.

I'm performing renaming this way:

1. Open Treemacs: C-m f t
2. Hover a project to rename with keyboard arrows (or with p or n)
3. Launch renaming: C-c C-p r

So here's what is happening when I'm trying to rename project in terminal (emacs -nw): Spacemacs creates an input field at the bottom of UI. Everything works perfectly.

But when I try to do the same in X11 mode recent versions do not behave as before. Old versions opened an input field (smaller font) near the project name, I could enter new name and press enter. But now the input field opens but it does not get input focus and I don't know how to switch to it as it's not a buffer as I understand. Instead the original (blue bigger font on screenshot) receives an input focus. Actually the input is quite buggy this way - I cannot enter new chars but can delete existing. And when I do it - Treemacs renames the folder on the disk instead of renaming the projectile project. BTW the input field which should receive focus but does not receive never disappears until I restart spacemacs. Here's how does it look like (I can edit the string near 'folder' icon, not near 'New name' string): It does not disappear even when I close Treemacs:

Hmm it seems that I can just click an appeared field with a mouse and perform a rename in X11. Strange how I didn't realize it before.

So probably the essense of the issue is that the input field just does not get focus by default as it did before.

@programmador I've tested it with vanilla emacs and the problem persists.

1. start vanilla emacs with emacs -Q
2. for convenience I added all elpa directories to load-path

   (require 'cl-lib)
   (let ((fpaths (seq-filter #'file-directory-p (directory-files (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d/elpa/27.2/develop")))))
    (cl-loop for fpath in fpaths
             do (add-to-list 'load-path fpath)))

3. Then load treemacs and cfrs (the latter is required since it panics otherwise)

   (require 'treemacs)
   (require 'cfrs)

4. Open treemacs buffer with (treemacs) and try to rename a project with said key bindings
5. You'll find the same bug that the input box is not focused

Therefore this should be reported to upstream.
