1171002 - Support TextField#getTextFormat on empty TextFields

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox Graveyard :: Shumway, defect)

Description

[Till Schneidereit [:till]]

Calling TextField#getTextFormat(0, 0) on an empty TextField is perfectly valid and should return the default TextFormat. We throw an out-of-bounds error instead.

[Tobias Schneider [:tobytailor]]

Couldn't verify such behavior. The following example throws an out-of-bounds error, even in the Flash Player:

var tf = new TextField();
var f = tf.getTextFormat(0, 0);

Turns out the first sentence in comment 0 is a lie. The issue with the linked page is somewhere else.
