How can I see if a RichEditableText's textFlow is damaged? >From my investigations, it seems that FlowComposerBase.isDamaged() offers the perfect solution, but that it's then overridden in StandardFlowComposer.isDamaged() to return true if the RichEditableText allows scrolling. So if a text field allows scrolling (even if it's not scrolled at the moment), the textFlow will ALWAYS appear broken. How can this be useful?
(I need to know whether a textFlow is damaged because I want to fix FLEX-34756[1] by preventing SpellUI from spell checking when the textFlow is damaged - the assumption being that it will be recomposed on the next frame. If you can think of a better solution, please let me know. Thanks! [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-34756 Summary of bug: -squiggly is set to spell check when the focus returns to a text field (see SpellUI.handleFocusIn()) -after making changes to the text, the RichEditableText's textFlow is damaged and has to be recomposed. This normally happens in the next frame, when RichEditableText.updateDisplayList calls _textContainerManager.updateContainer(). -BUT if we set focus on the RichEditableText after the text change, squiggly does the spell checking on the damaged textFlow. -because of this, it's offered bad indexes in SpellUI.getValidFirstWordIndex() and SpellUI.getValidLastWordIndex(), thus checking on non-existing text.
