Description

Bi-direcitonal binding via the mutual: attribute only works for simple properties. Binding to synthetic properties (such as JTextField.text) or to event triggered sources do not work.

This should work (assuming model has a bindable 'userInput' property)

textField(text:bind(source:model, 'userInput', mutual:true))
