Having an issue with GtkBuilder loading ui file.
GtkEntry or GtkTextView are not editable! Even though object has editable property:

<child>
              <object class="GtkEntry" id="nameField">
                <property name="visible">True</property>
                <property name="can-focus">True</property>
                <property name="editable">True</property>
                <property name="placeholder-text" translatable="yes">Enter your name</property>
                <layout>
                  <property name="column">1</property>
                  <property name="row">0</property>
                </layout>
              </object>
            </child>

I can't type anthing in Name text field and comment text area:

Here is attached the demo app. Run with:

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-23-openjdk-amd64 mvn clean compile exec:java

This is a problem with your ui file. When I remove all of the "can-focus" property lines, everything works as expected.
