iOS 7 - StageText with Siri/Dictation doesn't work (?)

[panurge_web_studio]

Hi,

if you enter the focus on a StageText and then start a dictation with Siri, ecc. you will notice the component is stucked and the app too.

Am I the only one to experience that? I work on Flex, maybe is it a Flex SDK problem?

Thanks

I am seeing similar in AIR 4.0 and 13. If I create a basic stagetextfield (via Starling) and, when using the app, use the siri/dictation feature and simply say "test", it will fill the text in the textfield. Sometimes it will crash right there, but other times it will crash as soon as I hit the dictation button again.

We are able to reproduce the issue with Starling and now investigating it.

Thanks for reporting,

Thanks for looking into it. With Starling, I noticed that it happens when there is another display element on the stage (such as a Quad). I have reported it on the Starling forums as well:

TextInput + Quad + Siri Dictation = Crash on iOS7 « Starling Forum

Is there a bug or ticket ID we can follow to see when this is resolved?

as3Tf.defaultTextFormat = new TextFormat("Arial", 30);

as3Tf.width = stage.fullScreenWidth;
