[news.eclipse.technology.epf] Re: Databinding and rich text editor

[Mario Cervera <mcervera@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Eric,

that's the class I'm using but the method modifyText is not invoked as 
much as I'd like to. It's strange but it's invoked when I either use the 
toolbar or press Del, back space... but not when I write simple 
characters :S. The problem of this is that I have problems to set my 
model as dirty. I could use the focus out event but the listener I use 
doesn't get called either.
