Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Run attached sample file.
2. Click "Toggle editable" button to set editable=false in TextArea control.
3. Click "Toggle enabled" button to set enabled=false in TextArea control.
4. Click "Toggle editable" button to set editable=true in TextArea control.
5. Click "Toggle enabled" button to set enabled= true in TextArea control.
6. Type into TextArea control.

Actual Results:
Cannot input text.

Expected Results:
TextArea control should allow user input.

Workaround (if any):
Set editable=true after setting enabled=true.

This issue can be reproduced in SDK 3.2, 3.5 and 4.0. It doesn't occur in TextInput control. It seems that the process of TextArea#commitProperties() is different from that of TextInput.

/** snippet of TextArea#commitProperties()
if (editableChanged)

{ textField.type = _editable && enabled ? TextFieldType.INPUT : TextFieldType.DYNAMIC; editableChanged = false; }

if (enabledChanged)

{ textField.enabled = enabled; enabledChanged = false; }

**/

/** snippet of TextInput#commitProperties()
if (enabledChanged || editableChanged)
{
textField.type = enabled && _editable ?
TextFieldType.INPUT :
TextFieldType.DYNAMIC;

if (enabledChanged)

{ if (textField.enabled != enabled) textField.enabled = enabled; enabledChanged = false; }

selectableChanged = true;
editableChanged = false;
}
