[FLEX-23140] use of stateGroups munges semi-related data

• Type: Bug
• Status: Open
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Unresolved
• Affects Version/s: Adobe Flex SDK Previous
• Component/s: States
• Environment: Affected OS(s): All OS Platforms; Affected OS(s): All OS Platforms; Language Found: English

Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Use application-level stateGroups to set the properties of a control (e.g., minimum, value, and maximum of a slider).
2. Change application state.

Actual Results:
Control's properties are set incorrectly (e.g., to NaN).

Expected Results:
Controls properties should be set to the specific values, with the unspecified values being unchanged.

Workaround (if any):
Don't use application-level stateGroups (which rather limits their usefulness).

For a sample application that demonstrates and (briefly) discusses the problem, see here:

...which includes a link to the demo app.

The error occurs on both IE8/Vista and Safari4/MacOS10.4 (the only platforms on which I've tested it).

Thanks!
