<AWT Dev> Should TextField Documentation be updated ?

[Ambarish Rapte]

Hi Alexandr,

 

Label, JTextField, JLabel:

On All platforms, replace the new line character by space character.

 

                TextField:  

On Linux And MacOSX,  replace the new line character by space character.

 

                But only on Windows, TextField terminated string after new line character.

                The behavior was corrected for Windows, to replace EOL by space character with bug fix https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8055197

 

 

Thanks,

Ambarish

  What is behavior of text controls on different OSes (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X)?
  Is new line character is replaced to to a space, preserved, or the text is truncated?

  Thanks,
  Alexandr.

Hi,

If the input string contains new line character, then TextField replaces it with space character. 
This is not documented at java docs,

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/index.html?java/awt/TextField.html

 

                Could you please provide views on whether to update the awt.TextField documentation with above behavior ?

 

                Some more information:

                The behavior was corrected for Windows with bug fix https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8055197

                After this bug fix, This behavior is common across platforms.

 

 

Thanks,

Ambarish
