HTML_AREA broken? (servoy-1.1rc2, java-1.3.1, linux)

Classic Servoy
1

With Servoy-1.1rc2 and java-1.3.1 on linux, HTML_AREA isn’t workikng for me :-(

If I do a basic form with a large text field (e.g. 4000 chars) it’s all fine as a TEXT_AREA but as a HTML_AREA something goes wildly wrong: the short story is that I can step through the records but nothing appears in the fields and there’s a bunch of java errors scroll over the xterm from where servoy was started.

Before I go digging up more details: is this a known bug?

Thanks,
Neale.

please post a portion of the error you see (the top 10 lines)

This is what I get when starting Servoy then switching to the offending form…

java.lang.NullPointerException
Exception occurred during event dispatching:

Hmm… I wonder if my version of Java (1.3.1 on Linux) has problems/whatever in the HTMLEditorKit department?

Thanks,

What content do you set? (how does the html look like?)
We cannot reproduce this problem…

Nothing too challenging…

=> SELECT * FROM letter_texts;
 letter_textsid | lt_ref |                                            lt_body                                            
----------------+--------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
              1 | NTB1   | <paragraph>
  <head>

  </head>
  <body>
    <p>
      Foo 1
    </p>
  </body>
</paragraph>

              2 |        | <paragraph>
  <head>

  </head>
  <body>
    <p>
      
    </p>
  </body>
</paragraph>

(2 rows)

BTW, just to clarify, this problem is observed when running Servoy Developer in “client mode” (is that the correct terminology?).

Any thoughts on if this is likely to be specific to Java 1.3.1?

Thanks,
Neale.

I still cannot reproduce the problem, when I fill a html_text area with:

Foo 1

It displayed correctly (I tried 1.3.1 and 1.4.1 on windows)
Note: if I use it does not render(display) the html but shows the source, so I changed those tags to and
