This is the expected behaviour :) But what you can do (and actually what you wanna do) is to accept the text at each keyStroke :)
> initializePresenter > self instantiateModels: #( > textName TextModel > labelGreeting LabelModel > buttonGreet ButtonModel > ). > labelGreeting text: ''. > buttonGreet label: 'Greet Me!'; disable. should be turned into: #initializePresenter textName := self newTextInput. labelGreeting := self newLabel. buttonGreet := self newButton. labelGreeting text: ''. buttonGreet label: 'Greet Me!'; disable. textName autoAccept: true.
