I'm using a barcode scanner to enter data into an elm textfield. The
barcode scanner basically works like a keyboard with a user that makes very
rapid keystrokes. This rapid entry causes random characters to be missing
in the textfield. If the scan is supposed to enter "50494'', one or more
of these characters will often be missing. Using the debugger I see that
my model has values for that field that change from "5" to "50" to "504" to
"509" to "5094", but it should be "5" to "50" to "504" to "5049" to
"50494" So it ends up replacing "504" with "509" instead of with "5049".
I believe this is a threading issue where two events are firing in
parallel instead of in sequence, and both events are starting with the same
model data ("50") with the output of one event replacing the output of the
other, when instead the output model for one event should be the input for
the next event. Is this a bug in Elm? How do I fix this?
Thanks,
Chris
