Multi line input box rendering issue #31

Closed apixandru closed 9 years ago

apixandru commented 9 years ago

When toggling visibility on a multi line inputbox, the text disappears. The value is still there as indicate by getText(), it's just not rendered

sample 

    final InputBox ib = new InputBox(this, "scooby");
    ib.setText("i was prepopulated, you know");
    ib.setMultiLine(true);
    final RadioGroup radioGroup = new RadioGroup(this, "scoobyrd");
    radioGroup.addElement("one");
    radioGroup.addElement("two");
    radioGroup.addElementSelectedListener(new ElementSelectedListener() {

        @Override
        public void elementSelected(final ElementSelectedEvent event) {
            ib.setVisible(false);
            ib.setVisible(true);
            System.out.println(ib.getText());
        }
    });

this appears to be an issue in chrome 43.0.2357.65 m, not so much in firefox developer edition or internet explorer inspecting the html element, the text is inside the text area, it's just not rendered by chrome

Appears to be related to this issue https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=487352

It seems that there are workaround, that could be applied to the InputBox js code to set the text again after updating the element. But it seems to apply only to one Chrome version....

Now the question is: Should we apply a "workaround" in the jWic code to handle issues of this particular version... or do we hope on users recognizing that a lot of other pages dont work as well and Google patches Chrome quickly...?

Looks like chrome fixed their bug. No need for a workaround.
