Hi,
Up until AIR 14 I was able to prevent the default behavior when pressing ctrl+v in a TextField with Air for Desktop. This allowed me to 'intercept' the pasted text and process it (removing junk markup from MS Word, but retaining some formatting) before adding it into the text field.
Now with AIR 14 calling preventDefault on the KEY_DOWN event on the TextField no longer prevents the paste action. Has anyone else experienced this? Since the TextField doesn't fire a PASTE event I have found no other way to prevent default pasting. I have filed a bug report here:
Bug#3775354 - Unable to prevent default when pasting into TextField with AIR 14
I looked at the change log for AIR 14 and there appears to be a bug fix for ctrl+v/c/x with StageText (which falls back to TextField on desktop). I wonder if this change has something to do with it? This pretty much breaks my entire application so I hope this can get resolved soon!
Thanks.
