Description
Type of Issues (Enhancement, Error, Bug, Question)
When I put Text and FileBrowse at same line, file path selected will be shown on Text. To stop it, I add target = (None, None), then no event generated.
If not put Text and FileBrowse at the same line, I don't need option target and work well.
Why no event generated when target=(None, None) and enable_events=True ?
Operating System
Win 10
Python version

Code or partial code causing the problem
import PySimpleGUI as sg
font1 = 'Courier 16'
font2 = 'Courier 12'
layout = [[sg.Text('Select File to check', font=font1),
sg.FileBrowse(
'Browse', target=(None, None),
file_types=[("All Python Files", "*.py")],
enable_events=True, size=(10,1), font=font1, key='-Browse-')],
[sg.Output(size=(120, 30), font=font2, key='-Output-')]]
window = sg.Window('test', layout=layout, finalize=True)
while True:
event, values = window.read()
print(event, values)
if event is None:
break
if event == '-Browse-':
path = values['-Browse-']
f = open(path, 'rt', encoding='utf-8')
lines = f.readlines()
for line in lines:
print(line.strip())
window.close()
