As you may know, our certification community site Black Belt Factory [1]
has been rewritten using the Vaadin. We encountered a bug that we just can’t fix in a Vaadin-GWT widget that we made, but maybe you can. This is some nasty, low-level, GWT-related bug that occurs only under Firefox.
We can give $200 to the first Vaadin expert who can fix the bug.
Here is the link [2]
to all the information that you needed to participate in this challenge.
We would appreciate bugfix for the issue or at least some tips where the problem could lie.
I don’t think I qualify for the bounty as I work for Vaadin (sorry if anyone else has spent time on this), but the problem probably comes from the isFF3() branch in VTextField.updateFromUIDL(), which later overwrites what your setText() does - see the comments in that branch.
You should be able to do a similar deferred command (to be executed after the one from VTextArea) in the case of FF3 to fix this.
