TextField does not respond to mouse

Troubleshooting gui

I have a text field in my file save dialog that is not responding to me clicking it with the mouse:

I have created it like this and did not do much more with it.

        fileName=new TextField("FileName");
        row.addChild(fileName);

What I would like with it is clicking it to get focus, edit it and use the mouse to move the cursor or select a part of the text. Is this at all possible?

The valuebox of a spinner element does allow this even though it is not always responding very well to clicking. Sometimes it turns into some sort of pixelhunting.

Unfortunately, cursor selection in Lemur TextField has not been implemented. JME BitmapText makes this very difficult and I never finished my rewrite of BitmapText. (There is always a long chain of things for stuff like this.)

Perhaps a workaround for this is to hook mouse clicks to keyboard arrow inputs. I haven’t tried it, but might be a temporary workaround despite being exhaustive.
