It seems this is caused by this recent PR: #2314

Unregistering the testTextInput means any further interaction with text fields won't work.

It seems like the registering of the testTextInput is probably the root cause here, as the default widget tester doesn't do this and doesn't demonstrate the issue.

Hi @josh-burton. Can you please provide reproducible example of a test in which it does not work? I think more factors need to come into play than just typing into the text field twice for this error to occur.

@piotruela you can reproduce by using this repo
git clone https://github.com/GChanathip/patrol_example.git --branch patrol-issue

i reproduced by using Patrol 3.130 and Patrol cli 3.4.0 with android 13 emulator.

use this command to reproduce
patrol test --target integration_test/search_product_test.dart

I'm not sure about the root cause, but I started facing this issue after PR #2314 was merged

I faced this when trying to enterText on the field that is autofocus. When I disable autofocus the issue is gone.
