InvalidElementStateException on element that is visible and interactable - selenium

Question

Element:
<input
class="DFLeft valid"
id="Input_329"
name="EsigFirstName"
style="width:225px;"
type="text"
aria-labelledby="Input_329Label"
value="twoEEm"
maxlength="255"
data-val="true"
data-val-required="Required."
data-val-length="Min 0 characters required."
data-val-length-max="255"
aria-required="true"
>
Geb Navigator:
firstNameTextBox(wait:true) {
$(
$(name:"SigFirstName"),
$(name:"ESigFirstName"),
$(name:"EsigFirstName")
).module(TextInput)
}
I've checked:
No element is displayed on top of input
Element text can be edited manually
Geb Navigator successfully returns 1 element
Converting Geb Navigator to jquery selector successfully returns 1 element

Answer 1

Solved.
The geb page I was at extended a geb page that was visited previously in the spock spec. Issue was resolved by duplicating the navigators to the child page.
My thoughts are that the parent page (which was visited first) had resolved the navigator and the child could not find the previously resolved navigator.
Can someone verify or correct me? I dislike that I have to duplicate this code.
