FlxInputText background bug when text is empty

[kevinresol]

With text:

Empty text:

Putting a space in there should probably fix this issue...

This is an input for user and caused bad user experience.
I suggest adding a minHeight property to FlxText and honor that in regenGraphics()

[gamedevsam]

Put a text, refresh the height, and set text back to "" :-P

Just kidding this is a bug and needs to be fixed...

[larsiusprime]

Yeah, I should fix this.

This is a temp fix for me

FlxText:

private function regenGraphics():Void
    {
        //...

        // Account for 2px gutter on top and bottom (that's why there is "+ 4")
        var newHeight:Float = _textField.textHeight + _heightInc + 4;
        if (newHeight < size + 6) newHeight = size + 6; //fix empty text height

        //...
    }

This is actuallly not a bug with flixel-ui, but flixel / FlxText itself. If you look at the text height of an empty text, it's incorrect / different from the usual text height. This only seems to happen on flash.

So should we close this and redirect to the bug in FlxText?

[Gama11]

Didn't we fix this here? HaxeFlixel/flixel@cda9a70

[larsiusprime]

Yeah pretty sure we did.

I'm going to close this for now.
