It seems with resizable multiline inputText, when we use either enter or
backspace to add/remove newlines,
no new character is sensed - specifically, no 'ontext' event is generated.
The following sample is a working example that illustrates the issue.
Click on the gray box and the following character sequence shows the issue
with
newlines not being sent to the ontext event.
aaaa<enter>
a<backspace><backspace>a
My expectation -
1. The <enter> adds a newline to the text and generate an 'ontext' event -
and the inputtext view to be resized.
2. The second backspace deletes the newline added & generate another
'ontext' event and therefore a resize.
However, in both cases, it's the first text modification around the newline
that results in a change and triggering
the expected behaviour. That is the 'a' after <enter> and the 'a' after the
second <backspace> cause the
desired resize.
I didn't find anything obvious on jira. Am I missing something?
Would appreciate any help I can get understanding what the issue is and if I
can solve this.
I am using 4.0.7 on windows (vista) + firefox + swf7.
