> The skeleton project that is created when using the command line tools uses the HaxeUI universal Application class which handles the creation of the top level frame as well as the event loop (and some other parts), and although not mandatory, is a much easier way to handle application lifecycle and initialisation

eg: https://github.com/haxeui/haxeui-hxwidgets/blob/master/haxe/ui/backend/AppImpl.hx Thats the app impl for haxeui-hxwidgets... each backend has one, they are totally optional but using them means you can switch between backends without have to code the app startup for each one... which varies greatly for each backend - haxeui-html5 AppImpl for example basically does nothing

on Neko typing 2 consecutive spaces into a

TextField

gives this error:

haxelib update

before messaging here 😅

did that fix it?

yeah

interesting, updating what? haxeui?

haxeui-openfl

crazy... well, good news, i fixed a bug i didnt know about somehow

wait no

i think it's dialog related

can you try and whittle it down to a self contained, reproducible example and ill take a look at it after my meetings / lunch?

sure

thanks!

you're testing on neko right?

i was - yup

ok got it now, it was an openfl bug so the problem was that i wasnt using the git version of openfl

i was on haxeui-core and haxeui-openfl git versions but i had not considered openfl 🤦

cool - glad its working 🙂

( openfl may still have problem with justify )
