Description

If I try and edit an expression in the new field expression control, the cursor keeps jumping to the end of the line of text. I think this happens when the expression is deemed invalid, but it makes it nearly impossible to edit an expression as it's likely to be invalid when I'm only mid-way through the edit.

History

#1 Updated by Denis Rouzaud about 10 years ago

I am facing troubles to resolve this one...
The problem is that editing text will change the model...and changing the model resets the combo thus changing the line edit...

no idea on how to solve this yet...

ok, this has been solved by not sending expression to the model at each key press.
instead the expression is sent when editing is finished, thus the cursor remains.

thanks Nyall for your suggestion!
