I think it’s _curElementOffset which gets updated. It does look like something is getting out of sync. I’m just not sure yet what. This is one of those areas that’s way too fragile IMHO… Every time I’ve run into these kinds of issues it’s taken me days to figure out exactly what’s off. On Nov 6

Well, it does this: if (_curElementStart == _curParaStart+_curParaElement.textLength) break; to normally break out of the loop. I’m a bit fuzzy though on how it handles SpanElements that span multiple lines and how to break out of that. (I should really try to comment the code a bit so next

Re: To FlexJS or not to FlexJS

Thanks for your insights. FWIW, there’s three approaches out there for JS text engines. Google uses DOM (each character is a separate div absolutely positioned). Apple Pages uses the SVG approach you mention. Others use Canvas. All three of these methods require low-level handling of selections

Re: TextFlowLine recycling

I think the root of the problem is that BaseCompose.createTextLine() is returning null. The only reason why that would happen is if the line couldn't fit in the space provided. I am not sure why ComposeState.composeNextLine() is trying to do _curLine.getTextLine(true) when the textLine is null. I w

@Harbs we are in a very similar position. Unfortunately we have kind of given up on Flex but the grass hasn't been very green on the other side. Our production application which uses our custom version of TLF 1 is still all in Flex. But, we have a viewer that is in JS which i

My memory is a bit fuzzy. I thought TextLine recycling wasn’t per-paragraph, or is there a TextBlock per paragraph? The doc says that TextBlock.createTextLine/recreateTextLine returns null if the TextBlock is empty or if the width specified is less than the width of the next element, and to check
