The bug occurs when we hide the visibility of a ReactComponentV2 widget containing a GWT widget inside of another ReactComponentV2 widget, but only when using the React production build. In both the React production and the development build, the ReactElement does have the expected
style
prop withdisplay: "none"
, but the DOM node does not get the inline style in production mode.I could not find a related bug in the React issue tracker.
As a workaround, we can simply omit rendering elements that are not visible. One risk of this approach is that any element state will be reset when the visibility is toggled.
