native.newWebView not initialising properly when using widgets v2 buttons

I’ve posted this in the bug tracker but since I may not get a reply because my app uses Director (considered a 3rd party tool?) I thought I’d post here and hope to get an answer…

Bug Description

on SDK 2013.1127 (i.e. using widgets v2)

native.newWebView() doesn’t display when on a Director screen which is opened via a button event

  • works fine if the screen is opened via a swipe (touch) event

Build CoronaSDK-2013.1033 (i.e. using widgets v2)

All works as expected.

Steps to reproduce

set-up a simple Director 2 screen app

> screen1 (home_screen.lua) has a button that opens screen 2, a scrolling web view (screen_types.web_pages.scroll_web_screen_local.lua)

Platforms tested on 

Android 2.x and 4.x
