getText() in Text not working [message #65183]

Hello

i guess this is a probably serious bug:

in any textfield, the method getText() delivers "" (empty String) if the
contents has been copied and pastet into that field. This happens either
when the contents is copied with the keyboard or with copy&paste menu.

if anything is changed in the textfield, getText() delivers the whole
contents.

Version is 1.01 Service-Release build 1851.

Thanks
Andrej

nor on IE6. when i copy something into a Text widget the getText() method
returns the proper string...

i'm using the CVS head plugins.

Hi,

this is a known bug.

See 192146: Wrong text field behavior when using Ctrl. + V
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=192146

The problem is that we cannot reproduce it. Just tested it with IE7 and
FF 2.0.0.11. Maybe you can come up with a snippet how to reproduce the
problem.

Hi Benny

i just read Bug 192146 and there is a code snippet in it. I wouldn't know
what else to add.

Jordan writes:
"If you haven't typed, but just pasted into the text field, getText() will
return
an empty string. After you have modified the text field by typing or
deleting
some chars, everything will be fine. The problem occurs the first time
after
the text field was created."

This statement is accurate.

maybe it's the localization of the browser? i used IE7 german when this
problem occured.

Thanks
Andrej

Hi Benny

regarding Bug 192146(paste a text with Ctrl-V into an Text-Widget, do not
type anything with the keyboard, getText() delivers empty string instead
the pasted text): this Bug is still around in the newest RAP
1.0.1-Integration Build dated december 21.

Will this one be fixed soon?

We are in the process of finishing our RAP-Application and as we can not
forsee the behevior of internet-users, we must expect that users will use
the copy&paste feature. And that is exactly what Bug 192146 is all about.

Thanks
Andrej
