Is your issue REALLY a bug?
- My issue is indeed a bug!
- I am not crazy! I will not fill out this form just to ask a question or request a feature. Pinky promise.
Is there an existing issue for this?
- I have searched the existing issues.
Is this issue related to iced?
- My hardware is compatible and my graphics drivers are up-to-date.
What happened?
text_input treats any cursor that's in-bounds of the widget but out-of-bounds of the actual text as being at the end of that text. This is incorrect for non-left-aligned text input. Try clicking within the text_input but left of the contained text:
fn main() -> iced::Result {
iced::run((), view)
}
fn view(_: &()) -> impl Into<iced::Element<'_, iced::Never>> {
iced::widget::text_input("placeholder", "value")
.width(100)
.align_x(iced::Center)
.on_input(|_| todo!())
}
What is the expected behavior?
Cursors that are in-bounds of the widget but left of the actual text should be treated as being at the beginning of that text.
