TextInput not interactive inside a DropdownList?

[Fréderic Cox <co...@gmail.com>]

Using Apache Flex 4.15.0 with AIR 20 and have a dropdownlist with a
dropdownlist custom skin that contains a PopUpAnchor to display a group as
popup inside that dropdown.

For some odd reason the s:TextInput is not editable inside that popup. It
works when I do not use a popUpAnchor but that would require a huge rewrite
of the component. I have set skinClass to StageTextInputSkin but it's not
working. Setting skinClass to the spark mobile TextInputSkin is not working
either.

The TextInput is receiving mouse events (click) and I'm able to set text
which displays but it is just not accepting user input. No focus is set on
the textDisplay itself. Anyone have a clue why this does not work inside a
popup?

I need this to work on Desktop and iPad and I'm using the Mobile theme. All
my other textinputs are working fine using StageTextInputSkin. Only inside
this popup it is not working.

might be related to FLEX-35126 and FLEX-35125, which are fixed in
4.16. Maybe try the branch to see if it works? Then you'd only have to
wait a (hopefully) short while until the next SDK is out.
