form.reset() does not completely reset some paper form elements

[hawkett]

Example below shows the paper-input label continues to behave as though it has content.

Do form elements need additional notification on reset(), or do they need to handle the existing behaviour differently?

Im also facing this issue!. Its interesting to note that its been 3 months since this issue was posted. Still no response :-(

I'm sorry, I haven't gotten around to looking at it. There were a billion other higher priority issues that got in the way. I'll try to take a look this week

Thanks @notwaldorf - much appreciated! You guys are doing an amazing amount of stuff for such a small team.

@hawkett Thanks for the kind words. They're very appreciated 💖

@notwaldorf Thanks a lot for this fix! Trying to reset a form using paper-input and this works great when all the element values have changed but it is not triggering the notify to the parent when el.value === this._customElementsInitialValues[i]. Doing some local testing seems like something like what I have below (not optimized, just nulling out as a proof of concept) does the trick:

   for (var el, i = 0; el = this._customElements[i], i < this._customElements.length; i++) {
      if (el.disabled)
        continue;
      if (this._usesCheckedInsteadOfValue(el)) {
        el.checked = this._customElementsInitialValues[i];
      } else {
        if(el.value === this._customElementsInitialValues[i]) {
          //Need to force a change on value to trigger the notify to `paper input`
          //or somehow fire some notification.
          el.value = null;
        }
        el.value = this._customElementsInitialValues[i];
      }
    }

Is opening a new issue best way to address this? Can also submit a pull request.

I am experiencing this issue while attempting to reset a gold-email-input that is enclosed within an iron-form. It appears to be running one last auto-validation after the form is reset, causing it to turn red as if there was an error.

Is .reset() supposed to clear auto-validation states as well?

Re-opening, since paper-inputs still don't see like they reset too well: http://jsbin.com/joweso/edit?html,output

I noticed that after form reset, the paper-radio buttons and paper-dropdown-menu breaks...the new form does not display default selections for these elements. Using "1.1.4" version.

I'm seeing this issue in Polymer 2 with paper-input. When the form resets, it clears all the values, but the label stays afloat.

I have the same issue in Polymer 2, it reset correctly paper-input elements with name parameter set.
I have a confirm password without a name, and it doesn't reset it value

Then, I have other named elements like paper-dropdown-menu containing a paper-listbox which is not reseted
