SetKeyboardFocusHere(-1) not working with InputTextMultiline

[actondev]

Version: v1.85
Branch: master

When doing something like

InputTextMultiline(..);
// checking for right click
if(IsItemHovered() && IsItemClicked(1)) {
SetKeyboardFocusHere(-1);
}

Nothing happens.
However, when using InputText instead of InputTextMultiline, it works as expected!

Another note: putting the SetKeyboardFocusHere(0) before the InputTextMultilinedoes have effect (not useful but nonetheless).

Some context: I noticed that only with left mouse-click does an inputText gets focus & wanted to have it also happening with the right click. But as I saw in the implementation, the MouseClicked[0] etc checks are hardcoded, taking into account only the left click.

I have pushed a fix for this 66f0fb9 and added regression tests.
It's a little complicated because of how InputTextMultiline() uses a child window + a scrollbar and manipulating the scrollbar should report the item as active, leading to many subtle complications. I believe we could consider reworking the widget to not use a child window at all... it'll fix some issues.

Reopening as this commit broke tabbing through InputTextMultiline() multiline.

Pushed a fix c5db276.
It's not great, will simplify and tidy up the mess as we attempt to remove the child window from InputTextMultiline()..

Hello! I'm not sure if I should open a new issue, because it seems that SetKeyboardFocusHere(-1) works weirdly with InputTextMultiline in version 1.91.1 WIP, docking branch.
I want to reclaim focus on the InputTextMultiline whenever I press Enter. I followed the console example from imgui_demo.cpp. But it doesn't work with InputTextMultiline. I press Enter, but it still looses focus:

bool reclaim_focus {false};

if (ImGui::InputTextMultiline("##", ..., ..., ..., ImGuiInputTextFlags_CtrlEnterForNewLine | ImGuiInputTextFlags_EnterReturnsTrue)) {
    // ...
    reclaim_focus = true;
}

if (reclaim_focus) {
    ImGui::SetKeyboardFocusHere(-1);
    std::cout << "pressed enter\n";
}

However, this works, but it makes it impossible to press other buttons:

if (ImGui::InputTextMultiline("##", ..., ..., ..., ImGuiInputTextFlags_CtrlEnterForNewLine | ImGuiInputTextFlags_EnterReturnsTrue)) {
    // ...
}

ImGui::SetKeyboardFocusHere(-1);

I guess it works in the second example, because it sets the focus every frame, not only in the frame that I pressed Enter. But I expect the former to work, because it already works with InputText. I'm sorry if I actually did something wrong or I misunderstood something.

Same issue on dear imgui, v1.90.4 master branch. I have followed the tutorial for Debug Console in imgui_demo.cpp, and after I changed InputText to InputTextMultiline, the ImGui::SetKeyboardFocusHere(-1) stopped restoring focus after pressing Enter.

ImGuiInputTextFlags inputFlags = ImGuiInputTextFlags_EnterReturnsTrue
    | ImGuiInputTextFlags_EscapeClearsAll
    | ImGuiInputTextFlags_AllowTabInput
    | ImGuiInputTextFlags_CtrlEnterForNewLine;
if (ImGui::InputTextMultiline("Lingo v0.1", inputBuffer.data(), inputBuffer.size(), {}, inputFlags)) {
    std::size_t dataLength = strlen(inputBuffer.data());
    execute(inputBuffer.substr(0, dataLength));
    std::memset(inputBuffer.data(), '\0', dataLength);
    ImGui::SetKeyboardFocusHere(-1);
}

Is there a workaround to keep the multiline text input focused after pressing enter?

Please open a new issue for increased visibility.
