In my application I have a set of fields and depending what you fill in then a Link element gets updated with the value entered in the fields. For that I add an event listener:
productID.addValueChangeListener(e → updateUrl());
That just update the URL:
linkCSVDownload.setResource(new ExternalResource(newUrl));
This is the field created at UI creation:
private final Link linkCSVDownload = new Link(“Click here to download CSV when fields are set”,new ExternalResource(baseUrl));
When all works fine with local application, it gives weird behavior when connect with slow connection to it. We have a list of checkboxes and if we click them fast then we see some getting checked and then unchecked again. I was able to reproduce the issue when I add a sleep of 1s in updateUrl function.
So my guess is that each value change on a field call on backend the updateUrl but if takes too long and users already click on another field then it starts to act oddely (I guess the url update force a redraw of application so checkbox value changed still not processed by backend so backend put back box in unselect state).
Is there a way to avoids that?
