workflow.20002.delta.repository

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a Text Editor coach view is used in a Modal section that is
  shown and hidden, the binding value of the Text Editor coach
  view doesn't update in a consistent way on Chrome.

  IBM Business Automation Workflow
  

Local fix

• You can verify the Text Editor coach view binding and update it
  if necessary by using the following snippet:
  
  var textEditor = bpmext.ui.getView('TextEditorControlID'); //
  update to correct control id
  var text = textEditor.getText();
  if (text == "") {
  // if the text is empty, double check with the internal tinymce
  editor
  var internalText = textEditor._proto._getText(textEditor);
  if (internalText != text)
  {
  text = internalText;
  textEditor.setText(text);
  }
  }
  

Problem summary

• To prevent the focus from leaving the contents of a Modal
  section, there are focus and blur event handlers at the document
   level. However, on Chrome this additional blur event handler
  interferes with the Text Editor coach view's internal tinymce
  iframe blur event and prevents the Text Editor coach view's
  binding value from updating consistently.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available or will be available that ensures the binding
   value of the Text Editor coach view is correct even when used
  in a Modal section.
