I have four textfields, a title field, a details field, a date field, and a time field. Both the date and time fields are wrapped within a gesture detector, and onTap calls a pickDateAndTime method. The problem is that when I click on the date field and try to manually change the time through the input rather than the dial way, the focus goes to the title field and when I am still on the time picker and type something in the time picker, the title field gets changed with the new input. The weird part is that this error just appeared out of nowhere, and there are no errors reported in the console.

Should I open an issue on Github, as I had not made any changes to the code for it behave this way and also because there were no errors in the console
Here is the full code on Github

In your main.dart file, you should return something like this:
void main() async {
WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
runApp(const MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
// This widget is the root of your application.
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return GestureDetector(
onTap: () {
// This allows closing keyboard when tapping outside of a text field
FocusScopeNode currentFocus = FocusScope.of(context);
if (!currentFocus.hasPrimaryFocus &&
currentFocus.focusedChild != null) {
FocusManager.instance.primaryFocus!.unfocus();
}
},
child: // your app's entry point,
);
}
}
