input fields loose focus

[Abelius]

Try to open an empty scene and then edit your Prefab, because I think you are having problem when editing prefabs right?

Yep, that's right. I didn't notice that fact before.

Nevertheless, this morning all is fine again. I didn't do anything and I can edit that prefab without losing focus. Then again that's the first thing I've done after opening Unity, so I'm not sure if it's going to happen eventually.

I'll be sure to notify you guys and try to retrieve more data next time, so you could have better feedback to debug it.

also, make sure you have 1.8.3, the latest version from the Asset store. Do you get the problem even then?

I'm in 1.8.3 indeed. In fact I suspected about that recent version being the culprit because I recently upgraded to it. 

Thank you all!

if i close the global variable window .. works it again

I just searched for this because my actions were constantly beeping at me when I was typing because they lose focus... I closed the global tab.. and it stopped immediately...

I keep my global tab docked... would be nice to continue with that workflow because I need it open to monitor things.

5.4.2f1
1.8.3

Hi,

 Make sure you report a bug on this  ( Menu PlayMaker/Tools) so that it can be tracked properly.

Anyone Figure this out? Keeps happening to me as well. 

Just found this in the 1.84 Site

"Fixed bug where active control sometimes lost focus if error status changed (e.g. when editing required field)."

I'm running everything up to date.

Hi,

 I have pinged the problem, Hopefully it can be addressed for the next update.

Hi,

 Could you make a screencast showing the problem, I can not reproduce this. If I can create a clear set of repro steps, that will help.

 Make sure you have the latest version of PlayMaker when you repro.

Bye,

Hi, just wanted to say that the same issue happens to me all the time.
When I rename a state, after the first letter I type, the field looses its focus and I have to select it again and type once again.
99% of times it works on second attempt but there was and isolated case where I had to type letter by letter, refocusing each time.

Hi,

- Do you have other assets installed on that project?

- are you editing a field that is on a prefab?

Bye,

Same for me - closing the "Global" Variables Window helped immediately - will continue to observe.

same error here on unity 2017.3.1f1 + pm1.9.0.f5
closing the global variable tab fixes it.

it kept coming back and i did not understood what's going-on.
i ended up typing fsm name or field value in notepad and copy pasting it in the field ^^

seems that the global variables window is causing strange behaviors
(like this one discussed these days http://hutonggames.com/playmakerforum/index.php?topic=18901.new;topicseen#new )

Same thing here. I have problems editing a prefab FSM because of losing focus to the input fields. Seems to be fixed by closing the Globals tab. I'm on Playmaker 1.9.0

Hi. I am using Unity 2018/2019, I know this is a very old post, but I have this issue on both version, using Playmaker latest on a few projects. This drives me crazy. any solution?

We have a fix in the next update, but in the meantime keeping the globals window closed when you’re not using it should work around the issue. Let me know if this doesn’t work in your case!
