fix: TabBar fontFamily inheritance with custom label styles #171699

koji-1009 · 2025-07-07T13:55:54Z

When labelStyle or unselectedLabelStyle is specified, the defaults.labelStyle is ignored.
Merge defaults to make labelStyle and TabBarTheme.labelStyle apply default text styles.

+    }
+    selectedStyle = selectedStyle.copyWith(inherit: true);
+
+    TextStyle? unselectedStyle = unselectedLabelStyle ?? tabBarTheme.unselectedLabelStyle;


Looks like if labelStyle is non-null, and unselectedLabelStyle and tabBarTheme.unselectedLabelStyle are null, then we should use labelStyle here. So:

Suggested change

TextStyle? unselectedStyle = unselectedLabelStyle ?? tabBarTheme.unselectedLabelStyle;

TextStyle? unselectedStyle = unselectedLabelStyle ?? tabBarTheme.unselectedLabelStyle ?? labelStyle;

Thanks! And I fixed TextStyle? to TextStyle at 047a2bb.

-                defaults.unselectedLabelStyle!)
-            .copyWith(inherit: true);
+    TextStyle? selectedStyle = labelStyle ?? tabBarTheme.labelStyle;
+    if (selectedStyle == null || selectedStyle.inherit) {


Are these if checks necessary for readability? If .inherit is false than .merge should just return the textStyle unchanged.

https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/3.32.6/packages/flutter/lib/src/painting/text_style.dart#L1079-L1085

merge only looked at other.inherit. For this reason, I this that it is necessary to check selectedStyle.inherit and unselectedStyle.inherit.

After thinking about it for a while, I came up with the idea of changing the order of processing. How about this? 15b21d3
