URL: http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBWFK-55
Whiteboard:
Fixed In Version: Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Some iOS and Android devices treat RichTextArea as a read-only HTML element. Consequently, the devices fail to activate the RichTextArea and write text into it. The workaround is to avoid using RichTextArea elements in applications accessed by mobile devices. Other HTML elements are not affected by this issue.

Description Karel Piwko 2012-03-15 16:05:08 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #724673 +++

securitylevel_name: Public

All devices failed to activate and write text into RichTextArea element. Devices treated text area as uneditable space no different from surrounding page's background. On the other hand, element's toolbar seemed to work fine, buttons and select boxes are reacting correctly.
(Simple TextArea element works without problems)

Example tested on mobile devices: iPad, iPhone 4, Google Nexus S.

Is this still relevant to WFK 2.0.0?

Pavol, can you verify if this is still present in WFK 2.0? I guess both RF 3.3 and 4.2 would be in place for verification.

This issue is not related to RichFaces.

Hi, 

WFK 2.0 has gone GA, can this bug now be closed? 

Thanks for your help, 

Isaac

Comment 8 Stefan Miklosovic 2013-03-04 15:28:21 UTC
I compiled the application with gwt-2.5 and the following issues have appeared:

iPhone 4:

The RichTextArea is still not responsive. Tapping on the screen in the text area does nothing. Buttons are resposive and works well but their functionality cannot be verified since I am not able to write anything.

iPad:

The RichTextArea *is* responsive and writing text is possible, however, I am not able to simulate picking different colors of background and foreground. When I tap on the button, menu with colors appears, color seems to be picked but text which is written afterwards has not changed its color properties.

Google Nexus S:

I am able to write something only when I do not pick any custom format of the text (buttons in the menu). When I pick some feature, e.g. bold text, I am not able to get virtual keyboard back after tapping on the screen. It is impossible to write into the text area afterwards.

Please let me know if this can be marked as verified or any other steps are required in order to do so.

Comment 9 Karel Piwko 2013-03-06 08:33:18 UTC
As the issue is still valid and we do not provide an GWT documentation, I'm bumping the issue to WFK 2.3.0, moving to ASSIGNED with updated RN verbiage and summary.

We need to document this as a known issue.

Comment 11 Karel Piwko 2013-04-19 09:54:45 UTC
Moving state back to ASSIGNED. This issue was not fixed in WFK 2.2.0. 

Release note text is valid.

Move to Errai [~csa] [~jfuerth] ?

This bug was filed against WFK's GWT component; although it affects Errai, it's not directly an Errai bug and it's not something we are likely to fix ourselves.
