Open Radar

 
On a  
1. MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018) i7 room heater :-)
2. macOS Monterey 12.0 Beta 12 (21A5552a)
3. Xcode 3.0 beta 5 (13A5212g)


I’m finding that any previously set focusValues are not being restored when focus is moved away from, and then back to the original window (and focused field)

1. Compile and run attached example app and OtherView starts off correctly showing “No focusedScientist”
2. Highlight the contents of the  ContentView TextField and OtherView correctly shows the name of the scientist as focused, e.g. “Charpentier”
3. Click onto any other app, e.g. Finder, Xcode and OtherView correctly shows “No focusedScientist”
4. Finally click back onto example app and observe that the ContentView TextField showing the scientist’s name remains highlighted, but the OtherView TextField is now incorrectly showing “No focusedScientist” despite this.

@main
struct macosFocusedValueFun: App {
    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup {
            ContentView()
        }
        .commands {
            ScientistsCommands()
        }
    }
}

struct ScientistsCommands: Commands {
    @FocusedValue(\.scientist) var focusedScientist: String?

    var body: some Commands {
        print("\t Building the CommandMenu, focusedText = \(String(describing: focusedScientist))\n")

        return CommandMenu("Scientists") {
            if let fs = focusedScientist {
                Button("Action using selection = \"\(fs)\"") { /* Do something with the selection */ }
            } else {
                Button("Action with no selection") { /* Do something different if no selection */ }
            }
        }
    }
}

    var body: some View {

                .onAppear {

                return
            }
            /// Even with only a single window this gets called at least twice each time a new focuseText value is set. Which, together with the guard never firing,
            /// implies that focusedText is being kept on a per Window instance basis, i.e. with just one window mainWindow and keyWindow
            print("=============================================================") /// Delimit blocks of action triggered by updates
            print("Setting newValue = \(String(describing: newValue))")
            self[MyKey.self] = newValue
