We can confirm the issue in versions 0.24.0, 0.25.0 as well. 0.23.0 works well though.

Can you please provide the Kafdrop logs. And, ideally, an example of the messages in the topic that have lead to this problem.

I confirm same issue:

messages:1 An invalid form control with name='descFile' is not focusable.
messages:1 An invalid form control with name='msgTypeName' is not focusable.

Using following helm chart: https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/master/bitnami/kafka.

The version of Kafka used is

registry: docker.io
repository: bitnami/kafka
tag: 2.5.0-debian-10-r16

Anyone wants to take a stab at fixing it?

[cedricve]

Would love to help but don't have time to work on it. I'm afraid that for now I will use another client.

The issue appears to be that the Protobuf related form fields are marked as required, but the Javascript on the page hides these form fields from view if you are selecting AVRO format for the Key/Message type. As such, Chrome throws a wobbly with the 'not focusable' validation error.

I can take a stab at this. I developed a related hotfix #113 for this for issue #112 . It looks like the fix isn't compatible with all browsers. The Protobuf message type form fields are hidden with JQuery and unreachable in some browsers.

I've just cut a release that hopefully addresses this. Thanks @aaronwolmutt for a speedy fix.
Can someone additionally test-drive the 3.25.1 release and confirm that the issue has been resolved please?

[cedricve]

@ekoutanov tested 3.26.0 and it works now :D great!!!
