Maxime Cowez commented on FLEX-33293:
-------------------------------------
Ah yes. Much better. Especially since `showPromptWhenFocused` is an inheriting
style. Thanks [~cframpton]
However it seems that either workaround disrupts the "tabbing" flow. When an
input inside the PopUpAnchor has focus and I press 'Tab', the focus moves to
some input in the main view instead of the next one in the popup.
All these issues boil down to the lack of focus management inside a
PopUpAnchor. I suppose it should have its own `IFocusManager` instance and pass
that on to all its children.

> Key: FLEX-33293
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33293
> Project: Apache Flex
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Spark: ComboBox, Spark: PopUpAnchor, Spark: TextArea,
> Spark: TextInput
> Affects Versions: Apache Flex 4.8 (parity release)
> Reporter: Maxime Cowez
> Priority: Minor
>
> When you use an input component that has a `prompt` property in combination
> with a PopUpAnchor, the prompt text is never displayed.
> Easily reproduced:
> <s:PopUpAnchor displayPopUp="true">
> <s:VGroup>
> <s:TextInput prompt="test prompt in PopupAnchor"/>
> <s:ComboBox prompt="test prompt in PopupAnchor"/>
> <s:TextArea prompt="test prompt in PopupAnchor"/>
> </s:VGroup>
> </s:PopUpAnchor>
> "test prompt in PopupAnchor" is not displayed in any of the components.
> The bug does not affect DropDownList though; so basically it seems to affect
> only those components that inherit from or compose a SkinnableTextBase.
