No navigation happens when using a p:commandButton - jsf

Here is a Facelets file which is used to get first and last name and after that will go to the another Facelets file:

I expected to go to the construction.xhtml when I press the "Save" button, but nothing happens. How is this caused and how can I solve it?

when you are using commandButton you must do something like this:
<p:commandButton value="Save" icon="ui-icon-check" style="margin:0" action="#{someBean.navigate}"/>
it means that you must use managed bean
and in your case you must use button instead of commandButton

Some UI parts do not respond

Some, but not all UI Components are not responding.
Restart, rebuild code and clean caches.

Everything renders nicely but in this case only the button of the form is responding will says is fired. If I enlarge the page in the browser by changing the zoom the SelectOneMenu for the day is responding too, but never the the SelectOneMenu for the week. If I remove the panelGrid the form works as intended.
this is one example of the problem. On another page are tabs generatered by a script, in most cases 12-14. Often the last two or three are not responding/firing and there is no mouseover/hiver response. What really fiddles me is that is not always the case.

Why is a p:panelGrid's p:row's rendered attribute ignored and not ignored in identical p:dialogs when ui:included?

The first dialog myDialog does not respond to changes of the creation mode (BASIC and ADVANCED) whereas the second identical myDialog does. The first one should respond as well like it does when everything is declared in index.xhtml without using the template.
The dialogs are identical in order to show that the issue occuring for the first dialog and not for the second doesn't have anything to do with the structure of the dialog. The example doesn't have any function except illustrating the unexpected behavior (p:inputText isn't bound to backing bean values, etc.).
MCVE is at https://github.com/krichter722/primefaces-datatable-row-not-updated.
I'm using Primefaces 6.1.

Primefaces' p:dialog with form doesn't behave as expected

I generated a Primefaces based CRUD website starting from JPA Entities with netbeans and after adjusting the Update dialog to fit my needs I am experiencing several problems. The domain Model is quite easy: I have an entity Invitation which contains several Guests.
#Entity
public class Invitation implements Serializable {
...
#OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL, orphanRemoval = true, mappedBy = "invitationId")
private List<Guest> guestList;
public List<Guest> getGuestList() {
return guestList;
}
...
}
I have an overview page (list.xhtml) where all the invitations are listed and the user can pick one to edit it.

</h:form>
<ui:include src="create.xhtml" />
<ui:include src="edit.xhtml" />
</ui:define>
</ui:composition>
Note that layout.xhtml doesn't contain any form (no nested forms).
The dialog edit.xhtml is divided into 2 parts: one where the user can enter the invitation "head" information and another one with a datatable where she can edit / add / delete guests.

</ui:composition>

</html>
And the Controller
#SessionScoped
#Named
public class InvitationController implements Serializable {
private Invitation selected; //with getter and setter
}
Now, I think my problem should be in the combination of p:dialog and h:form.
The original generated version of edit.xhtml had the form InvitationEditForm nested within the dialog and not the contrary as I posted above. The problem with that was after clicking editButton the dialog was loaded, but the dataTable was always filled with guests of the first Invitation I selected in my session (more strangely, suppose the first invitation in the session had just a guest A: after selecting an Invitation with 2 guests B and C I got A and B displayed). As the controller was returning the right guestList(), I supposed there was a problem with update and inverting form and display solved this problem..
Unfortunately this didn't solve all the problems, as now the actionListener for addGuestButton and deleteGuestButton doesn't get invoked anymore..
I am really confused: can you please help me to fix my code? Thanks in advance!

In order to themes work you'll need to add that to your project. Since you're using normal project(non maven). Download the all-themes jars from here
Add that jar to your build path and try running again.

Now I'd really like my dialog to be modal, so I add modal=true to my .
The result is my dialog appears "under" the overlay.
After a bit searching, I found that appendToBody=true would solve my problem, so I try it and my dialog appears the right way.
But... WTF??! Buttons inside the dialog stop working!!
BUG? Or is there any solution?
Move <h:form id="formDialog"> inside the dialog
Because when you use appendToBody=true the content of the dialog being appended to the BODY of your page... And in you case its being taken outside the h:form and as you know commandButtons must reside within a h:form in order to work....
Like this
<p:dialog appendToBody="true".....
<h:form id="formDialog">
.....
When working with dialogs allays remember to place your h:forms inside the dialog...
