DatePicker control freezing Flet app after upgrading to v0.21.1

[hugopy]

Description

After upgrading to flet v0.21.1, the DatePicker control now freezes my app whenever I try to switch from a page that doesn't contain a DatePicker to a page that contains the DatePicker.

Code example to reproduce the issue:

self.date_picker = DatePicker(
            on_change = self.setDateFieldValue,
            first_date=datetime.datetime(2020, 10, 1),
            last_date=datetime.datetime(2030, 10, 1),
        )

Changing the on_change method to an empty function, like lambda _ : print() doesn't solve the problem, so the method is irrelevant. Even an empty DatePicker as in self.date_picker = DatePicker() doesn't change anything. Only removing this control solves the problem.

Describe the results you received:

The app is frozen. Clicking in any buttons won't cause anything. App won't switch pages when clicking on navigation buttons.

Describe the results you expected:

Page in which the DatePicker is located should appear on the screen.
