Gesture detector detects only the children inside the container and not the blank space in the container

I have a container with a column as child and stack as immediate parent. onTap method only works when I press the Text widgets rendered inside the column widget and not the blank space of the container.

The default behavior of the GestureDetector is to react only on rendered content and let the press bubble up instead, if it can't find a child rendered in that position. You can, however, change the behavior of the GestureDetector to always report a hit, no matter you press in a rendered child or not:

// On GestureDetector:
behavior: HitTestBehavior.translucent,
