> Setting the text of a spark TextArea cause a script timeout error

> Key: FLEX-34081
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-34081
> Project: Apache Flex
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Spark: TextArea
> Affects Versions: Apache Flex 4.11.0
> Environment: Windows. Firefox, IE, Chrome, FP 11.9, FP 12
> Reporter: Alexander Scheibe
> Attachments: FontCrash.fxp, RichEditableText.as
>
>
> Steps to reproduce: compile the attached FXP project
> Description:
> The test application contains a text area of a specific width and height and
> a font size of 14. The application also contains three embedded fonts: Myriad
> Pro, Rosario, Source Sans Pro and two buttons to set a 'critical' string.
> Using the first button to set the 'critical' string of 85 characters length,
> the application will become unresponsive and will end with error #1502 "A
> script has executed for longer than the default timeout period of 15
> seconds." In most cases the stack trace shown in the debug player shows that
> work is going on in the StandardFlowComposer, but since this is a timeout
> error it may stop anywhere.
> When using the second button only the first 84 characters of the 'critical'
> string are set which does not cause the error for the fonts Myriad Pro and
> Source Sans Pro. Also one can see that 84 characters do not create a scroll
> bar. Moreover it is possible to type in the 85 character 'f' without problems
> and the text area will show the vertical scroll bar.
> Additionally setting the text programmatically when the text area already
> shows a scroll bar does no cause the error either.
> So for me it looks like certain font dimensions can cause the TLF to loop in
> circles when it comes to point to where a text area will show a scroll bar
