Make sure the containers housing buttons are set to Self Hit Test Invisible. Also, make sure that the text boxes are set to Hit Test Invisible. The buttons themselves should be set to Visible.

  • do not use a button as a container, use a Self Hit Test Invisible border
  • set the button to Self Hit Test Invisible - defeats using a button in the first place
  • there are other option but they’re too complex for something straightforward like this
