Web: GestureRecognizers in nested TextSpans do not work. #34931
Description
If I have nested TextSpans in a RichText widget, adding a GestureRecognizer to the top level TextSpan will work fine, but adding one to a nested TextSpan will not. This is only an issue with Flutter for web, not standard Flutter.
This works:
RichText(
text: TextSpan(
text: 'TOP',
recognizer: TapGestureRecognizer()..onTap = _incrementCounter,
children: <TextSpan>[
TextSpan(
text: 'CHILD',
// recognizer: TapGestureRecognizer()..onTap = _incrementCounter,
),
],
),
),This does not:
RichText(
text: TextSpan(
text: 'TOP',
// recognizer: TapGestureRecognizer()..onTap = _incrementCounter,
children: <TextSpan>[
TextSpan(
text: 'CHILD',
recognizer: TapGestureRecognizer()..onTap = _incrementCounter,
),
],
),
),If both are present, the parent will win (I assume this is intended behaviour).
My use-case is nested spans to be able to colour separators in a slide credit, where I need different links. Or maybe I don't understand how best to work with RichText and TextSpan for something like this?
