I have a simple Lists Screen where i fetch data from an API, and show it in a "UserListsListViewWidget" and i have a couple of other widgets in the screen.
I have an Add a List button, which opens up a modal bottom sheet sheet with a textfield and a couple of buttons.
My question is, when i open the bottom sheet and tap the textfield to open the keyboard, the Lists Screen gets rebuilt entirely. And due to that so do all of its children widgets.
Why does this happen? I have added constant constructors almost everywhere, and the bottom sheet is not a stateful widget either which may trigger a rebuild (even if it was, technically it should only rebuild itself, not its parent), so its a strange behaviour that i cannot understand at all. Can you please help me out with this?

final user = Provider.of<AuthProvider>(context, listen: false).getUser;
print('stateless rebuilding');

'${user['name']}\'s Lists',
