It's been my experience that flash.text.StageText has multiple issues with AIR 25.0.0.134. I believe that the Flex TextInput uses StageText on mobile, so you may be running into these bugs.
It looks like there's a new AIR 25 beta on Adobe Labs today, so I think they're planning to release an update to AIR 25 soon. I see in the release notes that some StageText issues have been fixed. You might try using that build instead of the released version. Since a stable build of AIR 25 has been released, you may not see a beta build in the Flex SDK Installer anymore. You can overlay the beta AIR SDK over the Flex SDK manually using these instructions: https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/how-overlay-air-sdk-flex-sdk.html - Josh On Wed, Mar 29, 2017 at 11:04 AM, Paul Moreau <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi folks, > > I'd normally go to StackOverflow but I usually find that Flex issues > posted are normally met with tumbleweed... > > I have included an mxml view file if anybody wants to replicate.
