Recently Lost Ability To Access Off Screen Native Text

I’m a bit concerned that Apple review process will decline the app because its not native. Anyone have any info or thoughts on that?

@drewns: I’m doing exactly that. But yeah does not work for simulator.  

I did a workaround for cursor. Just a newLine that blinks and stops blinking when focus is not on hidden textField. The x location for the line is inputText.x + inputText.width and updated whenever you update the text.

Good idea for the cursor. I’ll have to give that a shot. I haven’t submitted my app yet, so I can’t provide any insight there.

@Joshua Are  you aware about changed behaviour for the input listener in iOS7? When you get the input.text on edit phase you do not get the letter that was just pressed, only he text excluding the letter that was just pressed. 

I can submit a bug report if needed if its not premature. 

I’m the Windows and Android developer here.  So, I’m not the best person to ask about iOS related issues.

But that said, if you think you’ve found a bug, then please submit a bug report.  That’s the best way to get issues on our radar.  Thanks.

Everyone,

The offscreen TextField issue is now fixed for the Mac version of the Corona Simulator as well.  This fix will be made available in daily build #1176.
