Search mode for Flutter Widget inspector missing

[angjelkom]

By default when it comes to Flutter Web, every time you toggle Select Widget Mode, it resets the state.

Although a bit annoying this wasn't a big issue and the Select Widget Mode worked like this:

1. Toggle Select Widget Mode ON -> State resets (Page refreshes)
2. Click on any part of the Page -> Widget Gets selected
3. Click on any part of the Page again -> Select Mode was OFF, a magnifying glass icon shows bottom left, you can interact with the widgets
4. Click on the Search icon (Magnifying glass)
5. Click on any part of the Page again -> Widget Gets selected

This was working well as it allowed us to select a widget in the state/flow we created as toggling Select Widget Mode triggers a page refresh.

Now:

1. Toggle Select Widget Mode ON -> State resets (Page refreshes)
2. Click on any part of the Page -> Widget Gets selected
3. No Search icon (magnifying glass) shown -> no way to interact with the widgets to get the to desired state/flow
4. Click on any part of the Page -> Widget Gets selected

This way we are not able to get to the desired state/flow in our page, and toggling Select Widget Mode triggers a page refresh
