Minimal code example

Code sample

 FormBuilderTextField(
   name: 'forumTitle',
   maxLength: 140,
   controller: controller.forumTitlecontroller.value,
   focusNode: controller.titleFocusNode,
   decoration: customInput(hintText: VariableText.question),
   style: NotoSansThai.textInput.copyWith(color: Palette.black),
 ),

Current Behavior

Incorrect keyboard type Many numeric types can be used, but many character types become TextInputType.visiblePassword.

Expected Behavior

Probably because of the new version of flutter.

Steps To Reproduce

1. F5 to run Flutter

I think I've encountered the same issue.

Using TextField with the same parameters displays the correct keyboard type, but when switched to FormBuilderTextField, it shows the wrong keyboard type.

Additionally, this issue started from Flutter 3.16.x; it worked fine in Flutter 3.10.x

[ahua666]

I think I also encountered this problem, have you solved it?

[dennis-tealseed]

the same problem

[kumasan3]

This is VERY CRITICAL. All of my android users cannot input Japanese and I have received a lot of bug reports...

Tried to change attributes but didn't work.

Choices are

• stop using FormBuilderTextField and use the native TextFormField (what I did)
• use flutter below Flutter 3.16.x

If someone can open a PR for this, I will review (and appreciate). Thanks

I tried to modify and test the source code and found that changing the 'enableSuggestions' field to the default true is feasible. Because the default value of 'enableSuggestions' in TextField of Flutter3.16. x is true, In version 9.1.1, the default value of 'enableSuggestions' is false. hope I can help you

[LianYangCn]

Thanks a million.

[SUNbrightness]

there is a temporary way. TextInputType.streetAddress

[sakuraidayo]

I found this issue. When enableSuggestions is set to false in the TextField of Flutter 3.16.x, it seems that non-English keyboards become unavailable. Until this issue is resolved, it seems necessary to set enableSuggestions to true.

I had a problem where the keyboard would appear but swipe didn't work, only individual key presses.

Setting enableSuggestions to true fixed this for me
