[jira] Created: (PIVOT-479) TextInput: paint prompt if focused and input is blank

TextInput: paint prompt if focused and input is blank
-----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: PIVOT-479
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-479
             Project: Pivot
          Issue Type: New Feature
    Affects Versions: 1.5.1
            Reporter: Dirk Moebius
            Priority: Minor


IMHO TextInput should paint the prompt even if the component is focused and if the input text is blank. I've seen other GUI toolkits behave like this. I find it very irritating that the prompt goes away when I set the caret into it. I expect it do go away only as soon as I start typing.

Also note that with the _current_ behavior you would never see the prompt if the input component is the only focusable component in a dialog.

[jira] Updated: (PIVOT-479) TextInput: paint prompt if focused and input is blank

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-479?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Greg Brown updated PIVOT-479:
-----------------------------

        Fix Version/s: 1.5
    Affects Version/s: 1.4
                           (was: 1.5.1)

I think this is valid. Hiding the prompt is a usability issue. I will check out the patch.
