First of all, i'm fully aware of this Issue. I'm going to do some explaining here, but please do not open any issue regarding this "bug".

There's a bug causing text-widgets of external mods to behave in a weird way, where they unfocus as soon as the mouse-button is released. THIS IS INTENDED BEHAVIOR!
The Reason this happens is that those text-fields have nothing to do with vanilla widgets. They entirely use their own base, with their only "connection" to the game being that they extend something like "Renderable" or "Widget".

What this mod does is injecting into the "ParentElement" class, listening for "mouseClicked" and "mouseReleased".

• When clicked, it forcefully unfocuses all children-widgets of this element. This usually applies to lists, where "children" are the entries.
• When released, it checks if the widget of question is an instance of "TextFieldWidget", which is the only text widget that vanilla has to offer. This applies to widgets themselves.
  • If it is, nothing will happen. This is to ensure that text fields aren't instantly unfocused after being clicked.
  • If it is not, it'll unfocus the element in question.

"But wait, if it ignores text fields, why does this happen?"
As mentioned above, a lot of modded widgets use their own base. They don't have anything in common with the vanilla "TextFieldWidget", usually only extending "Widget" or "ClickableWidget" or something similar.
This way, it is basically impossible for me to keep them apart from basically every other widget in the game.

The only mod i was able to verify this on by now is "Reeses Sodium Options" for the Search-Field, but there are very likely a lot more that i don't know of.

"What is the Alternative?"
There is really only one, which i really don't want do do. The only option is to manually add support for every single mod's widgets that this happens on.
This would Require an update every time a new mod with such behavior comes out, or a mod adds a new type of widget.
It should be obvious why this is not reasonable.

For now i'm going to "ignore" this. As said, there is no other option.
If in the future there comes something up, or you have an idea about this, feel free to comment on this issue with ideas.

While using this mod, certain menus such as the gamerules menu still have the 1.19.4 bug.
