The issue affects more than just static fields (with hovers). It
dramatically affects applications where users are allowed to rotate
and scale dynamic text fields. In that instance, the kerning, leading
and character positions are offset and randomly jump around in value.
The kerning is the worst - as a field is scaled the kerning will jump
anywhere between 0-2 em on the characters ... randomly between each.
The only work around is to have the text field rotated by a small
amount (0.01, for example). I submitted this bug to Adobe quite while
back, along with the 'workaround.'
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. At least you can give the
rotation of the field a shot. You may need to use AS to set the
rotation via a Matrix.
var m:Matrix = new Matrix();
m.rotate(0.01);
myTextfield.transform = m;
The rotaion might need to be tweaked a tad - I don't have my bug app
open right now to check out the exact value that I ended up using.
