[Wheybags] [0.17.77] changing style.font for textfields does not cause redrawing

[jan1i3]

When changing the font of a textfield after it has already been drawn, the text does not get redrawn with the new font until something else causes it to redraw (like after the user types a character for example).

(one can also say "the change has no effect - yet", "it is delayed")
yes, happens reliably every time.

(expected: the font should update instantly)

steps to reproduce:
1. create a new world

2. run

Code: Select all

/c
game.player.gui.screen
  .add{type = "frame", name = "demo", caption = "demo"}
  .add{type = "textfield", name = "tf", text = "text"}

3. then in a later tick run

Code: Select all

/c game.player.gui.screen.demo.tf.style.font = "default-bold"

4. press control + f6
5. hover over the text box, it shows font "default-bold", but visually is "default"
6. focus the textfield
7. remove 1 char
8. the font changes visually to "default-bold"

alternatively, after 5. run

Code: Select all

/c game.player.gui.screen.demo.tf.text = "text"

(does not change the font visually)
then run

Code: Select all

/c game.player.gui.screen.demo.tf.text = "tex"

(does change it, because it's a different text)

or

Code: Select all

/c game.player.gui.screen.demo.tf.style.color = {1, 0, 0}

works too

Thanks for the report! It's always nice when someone includes simple lua commands to replicate the issue, instead of a massive mod list and instructions, or something like that
Fixed for 1.1.
