Reloading issues with selection in buttons or checkboxes

[faisal.lalani]

hi! We’re having some trouble with buttons in tabs. Anytime a user clicks a button outside of a form, the page refreshes itself instead of executing the code. Here’s a paraphrased version of the code:

with tab1:
  with st.form("test"):
    ...
  if st.button("click"):
    st.write("print")

While the form submission works fine, the button outside of the form reloads the page. Any ideas?

Hey @faisal.lalani, thanks for reporting this issue. Your issue might be related to a race condition we had with Streamlit version 1.9 & 1.10 that sometimes leads to the widget state being dropped and the page being refreshed. We fixed it in 1.11 (see this PR ). Is your app running with Streamlit 1.11?

[faisal.lalani]

Yep! I think you need 1.11 anyway to use tabs, but I double checked anyway and I am using that version.

that’s true In that case, this is unrelated and probably a new unknown issue. Unfortunately, I’m not able to reproduce it with the following code (deployed app):

import streamlit as st

tab1, tab2, tab3 = st.tabs(["tab1", "tab2", "tab3"])
with tab1:
    with st.form("test"):
        st.number_input("test")
        st.form_submit_button("submit")
    if st.button("click"):
        st.write("print")

Do you have any code example that reproduces the issue?

Hi @lukasmasuch
the issue could be reproduced as and when we use the result of submit button. for example

    submitted = False
    with st.form("test"):
        st.number_input("test")
        submitted = st.form_submit_button("submit")
    if submitted:
        # df = st.experimental_data_editor([2,2,3])
        # st.write(df)
        if st.button("click"):
            st.write(df)
