Title: (TEditText) Erasing Problem

Received: Jul 2 1997 5:28PM


Typing over selected text in an TEditText field doesn't erase the previously selected characters. This is easily reproduced by using the DNR sample app. Choose 'resolve an address' and type in anything, www.apple.com will not be erased before what you are typing is drawn to the screen, producing ugly results. IMHO, I don't think this a net example problem it's a problem in TEditText.
The erase problem only happens under certain conditions: Workaround is to set autoWrap to false in the view resource for the editText field.
