Roger Whitcomb commented on PIVOT-844:
--------------------------------------
That sounds good to me, although I think it should be -1 to act like before (0
is a valid index for an append).
> SuggestionPopup Allow replacing selected text to the beginning index until
> current cursor of TextInput or TextArea Component

> SuggestionPopup used to replacing whole content of TextInput once user make a
> selection. This creates difficulties in implementing, for example, a list of
> comma separated email addresses in recipients column.
> I suggest to modify the replacing methodology to allow additional parameter
> of Index of the beginning word to input so that the SuggestionPopup will
> replace from the beginning index to the current caret (text cursor) with user
> selection. Additionally, allow not only TextInput but also TextArea to be
> served with, which we can build a typing assistant like function.
> The finding the beginning index is user code responsibility which opens up
> the choice of usages, like email address assistant where ";" is the separator
> and space as separator when general typing assistant. The user code just
> need to use Java String Split to locate the closet word to the caret for
> SuggestionPopup.
