Immediate Mode seem not working correctly

[GhostOlli]

It seem like that if you try to use the TinyMCETextField in Vaadin > 7.7.3 in immediate mode, like for instance for on-the-fly validation purposes, that no ValueChange or TextChange is triggered while typing.

I am not an expert, but debugging the client code of TinyMCEConnector::updateFromUIDL(...) shows that immediate = uidl.getBooleanAttribute("immediate");.

is always false because immediate flag is now bound to the state instead. I am not sure if fixing the immediate flag is sufficient enough to solve the whole issue. What's your opinion about this?

Hi,

That might well do it. Want to try it and make a pull request?

For long texts it might be best to create a mode where only the first and last change are transferred to the server. This way server side could get notification when the field has changed, but not on each and every change the user makes. But this would naturally be just an optimisation.
