textViewShouldBeginEditing not called

[nferruzzi]

Hello,

when I use the mention/any plugin my textViewShouldBeginEditing external delegate method is not called. Would it be possible to have it processed anyway ? My textview has a "fake" placeholder that needs to be removed on that delegate, apparently doing that on didBeginEditing will set the mention in a wrong internal state preventing me from creating a mention at location 0 (I open another bug for this).

thanks

Thanks for reporting these. I'll take a look as soon as I have free time.

if textView.selectable = false, the method will NOT be called.

Here is my round about way of solving the placeholder issue.

#pragma mark - UITextViewDelegate

- (void)textViewDidEndEditing:(UITextView *)textView
{
    if (![textView hasText]) 
        lbl.hidden = NO;
}

- (void)textViewDidChange:(UITextView *)textView{
    if (self.commentTextView.text.length > 500)
    {
        self.commentTextView.text = [self.commentTextView.text substringToIndex:500];
    }
    if (self.commentTextView.text.length == 0) {
        self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem.enabled = NO;
        lbl.hidden = NO;
    }
    else {
        self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem.enabled = YES;
        lbl.hidden = YES;
    }
}

So you're hoping to have textViewShouldBeginEditing called exactly at what point in time?
