What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Create two components, one a TextArea and one a PromptingTextArea (PTA)
  2. Attach a keydown listener to each having them call a checkKey method
  3. if checkKey method, accept the e.currentTarget as type TextArea
  4. trace the PromptingTextArea, PromptingTextArea breaks returning null
  5. set up two checkKey methods, one for TextArea and one for PromptingTextArea
  6. set the currentTarget in the checkKey method for PromptingTextArea to type as PromptingTextArea
  7. the text property for PromptingTextA is now accessible
  8. if you modify the checkKey method for PTA to watch for keycode 15 (ENTER key), then have the PTA set it's text property to '', it will trace as empty but visually wont update to be empty
