Control loses focus by executing ctrlShow

Description

A test mission is attached. The setup is pretty specific.
The following UI setup:

Search bar (CT_EDIT)
CT_CONTROLS_GROUP with
- Subgroups (same CT) containing
  - A structured text control (most likely any other interactable control)
Another focusable control

When searching something the entries get removed by hiding them via

_x ctrlShow false;

and showing them vice versa.
When clicking on the structured text control and then try to search again the focus of the edit control is lost and set to another control on the display (in the example it is the cancel button). Commenting out the ctrlShow line focus is maintained.

Ay yai yai! You SPAWN search script on each key push and you dont even wait until it is finished! You can have millions of search scripts running at the same time without any order. try ["search", _this] call SELF;

BIS_fnc_KK changed the task status from New to Feedback.Sep 7 2021, 2:52 PM

Problem with that is that the KeyDown EH fires before the change is applied, i.e. the text is not up-to-date. So you type "rahim" and it will search for "rahi".

Changing the KeyDown EH to a KeyUp EH sovles the problem of having to use spawn, call can be used instead. Focus is still lost though.

try RscEdit instead of ctrlEdit
