Issue with displayType = TYPE_AHEAD when set to transparent

Postby jcarlos » Thu Aug 23, 2012 12:52 am

When a field element’s displayType = TYPE_AHEAD and it is set to ‘transparent,’ on selection of the pull down menu/value list, the words start transposing on each other if you navigate up or down through the list.

The words DO NOT transpose when the field is NOT transparent or the displayType is set to something else (such as COMBOBOX).

Examples of this odd behavior is shown in the images below:

I encountered this issue in 6.1 only. I never saw this happening on any of the 5.x and 4.x versions of Servoy.

BTW, I can temporarily fix this by setting the field/element to non-transparent onFocusGained and to transparent onFocusLost. Any other recommendation?

I am also posting this in case anyone experiences this issue. If so, I could then report it as a bug.

To test again the issue, I created the attached small solution. I am convinced now that it is a bug. I’ll report it in Servoy Support System.

Thanks!
