  • b
    just to see if it is that
  • f
    That partially fixed it. It's hard to explain what changed - before, this poorly set up scroll view's scrollbar was under those textfields, now it's above, but the text at the top is still the wrong z (as shown)
  • b
    ok, the clipping looks off too... any chance you could create a minimal sample?
  • f
    Sure, but going to quickly try to add cut copy paste first 🙂
  • b
    Not sure ill be able to do much about the batching issue though, the problem is that if you do "drawBox, drawText, drawImage" in kha it breaks the batching, so what when batching is enabled (which is it by default) it groups similar commands
  • b
    apparently Rob is going to fix all that at some point and noBatch can be default, but at the moment if you dont use batching you get a SERIOUS perf hit on android
  • f
    That's alright, I may be able to hack around it (maybe using different UI views for that top bar, and compositing them with Kha?)
  • f
    Yeah, I imagine there would be a massive hit, draw calls would shoot up
  • b
    no on html5 though apparently even on an android phone
  • b
    so webgl must be doing something clever
  • f
    Mmh
  • f
    Hm, is there an easy way to get the selected text as a string (for cutting/copying?)
  • b
    in that custom textfield class? Not sure... lemme take a look
  • b
    (i would assuming there must be a sel start/end)
  • f
    There is a selection start/end position (row/col) property
  • b
    private var _selectionInfo:SelectionInfo = {start: {row: -1, column: -1}, end: {row: -1, column: -1}};
  • b
    and i think there is a util, two secs
  • f
    Ah, convert to indicies, splice _text?
  • b
    private function posToIndex(pos:CharPosition)
  • f
    Perfect
  • b
    thanks for giving the textfield some love :) I wrote it ages ago (over xmas... ... on a mac!) and havent really looked at it that much since
  • f
    No worries, it's kind of fun trying to emulate native behaviour haha 😛 First time contributing to an open source project too, so I've had to look into forking and stuff 🙂
  • b
    :) Yeah, it was pretty cool writing it to be honest... but then once it was "done" i was like... pfftt... never again
  • f
    Ahh yeah. Emulating native behaviour isn't the nicest, but the satisfaction of it not feeling good and now feeling good is great
  • b
    gave me a whole new respect for all the text input implementations out there and how easy it is to shit on them... the problem is they are just so fundamental that they really need to be priotised (imo) for any "not just a game" ui/app
  • f
    Yeah, for sure. There's a lot of edge cases that we know about subconciously, but don't recognise
  • b
    defo
  • b
    and from a user perspective, so simple and "basic"
  • b
    still, the kha one (for the most part) i think works well, and will feel even more natural i think after you've made these updates 🙂 👍
  • f
    Yep 🙂
