2015.3 930 update issues

[Gal]

Hi All 

I'm attempting to upgrade from version 2015.1.429 and there are sevral minor changes in the controls that break the UI.
I Thought it will be a good idea to have a thread that will have all issues in the last update in one place. 

• Empty k-focus causes the numeric textbox to break silently and fails to render. removing the empty k-focus="" solved the issue. 
• k-orientation now require single quotes while in previous version did not require it. replacing k-orientation="horizontal" with k-orientation="'horizontal'" solved the issue 

 

I will be posting all issues I encountered on this thread and will be thrilled to hear your input

Hi All

Just ran into another issue in the latest version with the window and kendo editor.
When a window contains a kendo editor angular throws an exception.
I have attached a sample of the problem + an image of the exception.

Hi Gal,

Here are some quick notes on the raised topics.

- every k-foo="" attribute with an empty (undefined) value will prevent the widget from initializing, this does not apply to specific widgets or attributes. Can you describe a valid use case, which requires using empty k-foo attributes?

- the Splitter's orientation property accepts a string value, so using k-orientation="horizontal" without inner quotes has always been incorrect
http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/AngularJS/introduction#widget-options-in-html

- the Editor + Window problem is caused by the fact that the widgets are initialized while outside the DOM, which is not recommended. This has worked in previous versions due to an initialization timeout, which we removed.

On a side note, you may want to include comments from Telerik support staff in this thread too, so that we don't have to duplicate our responses from similar support tickets of yours. Thank you in advance.

Hi Dimo

​Regarding k-orientation="horizontal" I understand that this is now wrong BUT this worked in previous version so I found it relevant to inform of the issue. I guess you had a default for "undefined" that was ​'horizontal' that has now been removed.

I will update the thread when I find or get solutions.

Hi Dimo

Regarding k-foo="" attribute with an empty (undefined) value. I think a control should initializing as much as possible and a single (undefined) value should not break a control but have a fallback to some default so as not to have an empty page.

But I can live with it :-) BUT I thought I should inform of the change in behaviour that exists in the current version as I found it in 4-5 places in my code.
