Bug? Editor Widget & Search Widget not playing nice together

evtguy

Having just added the Search widget into my project, I discovered some unexpected behavior. My app is patterned after this sample. To start, I add a new feature by clicking on one of the predefined options found in the editor widget:

Next, I go over to my Search Widget and look for an address (using a locally hosted Geocoder service):

I close the geocoded popup and clear the contents of the widget by clicking the X in the input field. Now, if I go back to the point I previously created (or any other feature for that matter), the infoWindow that comes up is a copy of the geocoded result infoWindow:

That's pretty weird. The only way to "reset" things is to reload the page.

It's bad enough I can't use custom infoWindows when I using the Editor widget but this makes things even worse.

In order to resolve these type of conflicts you need to destroy and recreate the Editor after closing the search window.  I realize this seems clunky but its the suggested approach for working with the Editor and info window content at version 3.x of the JSAPI.

To see an example of how this works look at the code starting at line 217 in this file:
