[jira] [Commented] (FLEX-33537) Spark TextArea writing in prompt text format

["Mark Kessler (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33537?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15012586#comment-15012586 ] 

Mark Kessler commented on FLEX-33537:
-------------------------------------

-Reverted the previous commit.

-Having it validateProperties before resetting the focus to the textDisplay.  This gave it time to finish the previous state changes which set up the prompt just after being added, before having it removed again. Passed Mustella components/TextInput and TextArea.


Provide any feedback if this causes any other issues.  I will leave this one open for a while.

> Initialize a s:TextArea, set the prompt text to something and set the text to something. Sometime later set the text to empty string, remove the TextArea from the display, add it to back the display and set focus on it. The next time you type, you will be typing in the prompt text format.
> Ex.
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
> <s:Application minHeight="600" minWidth="955" xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark">
> 	<fx:Script>
> 		<![CDATA[
> 			private function selectTextArea():void
> 			{
> 				testTextArea.text = "";
> 				box.removeAllElements();
> 				box.addElement(testTextArea);
> 				testTextArea.setFocus();
> 			}
> 		]]>
> 	</fx:Script>
> 	<s:VGroup>
> 		<s:HGroup>
> 			<s:Button label="Break text area" click="{selectTextArea()}"/>
> 		</s:HGroup>
> 		<s:HGroup id="box">
> 			<s:TextArea id="testTextArea" text="Some text" prompt="Enter something..."/>
> 		</s:HGroup>
> 	</s:VGroup>
> </s:Application>
> Another issue is: If you try to set the focus before removing and adding the TextArea, the focus rectangle doesn't show up.
> Workaround: Don't set the focus immediately after adding the TextArea such as using callLater.
