Re: [tw5] focus=yes in edit widget causes input to be selected

[Xavier Cazin]

Hi Jeremy,

Thank you for your answer: it lead me to switch to a more idiomatic code
for the UI, which wouldn't trigger the edit-text refresh!

Cheers,

Re: [tw5] focus=yes in edit widget causes input to be selected

Hi Xavier

I think this is the venerable problem of the focus/selection not being retained 
over a refresh cycle. The only way to avoid it at present is to ensure that the 
edit-text widget doesn’t get refreshed.

Best wishes

Jeremy.

[tw5] focus=yes in edit widget causes input to be selected

[Xavier Cazin]

Hello everyone,

I stumble on an issue that I can seem to solve by myself: in the code
below, I need to set focus=yes to counter the lost of focus caused by the
<$set> content refresh :

<$set name=foo value=<> >

Refresh of the `foo` value: ''<>'' causes either //focus// or //user
input// (when `focus=yes`) to be lost.

<$edit-text tiddler="$:/state/foo" focus=yes tag=input placeholder="Try
typing something" default=""/>


But then the input text gets selected as it is typed, causing the next
character to replace the previous one. Tested on 5.1.21 and
5.1.22-prerelease, on Firefox and Chrome. How would you solve this?

Thanks in advance for your help!
