#2854 (ok 3.1.4) Using textarea CharEditing drops default values

[breathmint]

When the config is edited to use textarea for char/varchar editing, i.e. the following line is added:

$cfg['CharEditing'] = 'textarea';

Then default values are ignored for insertion. Tested with NULL and NOT NULL, and in each case the insert field is blank, and a blank string is inserted for the record. Tested on Chrome and Firefox for phpmyadmin 3.1.1.

I did some testing and can NOT reproduce this problem for a field which defaults to NULL.
When the checkbox in the Null column preceding the field is checked, and the textarea is empty the field gets NULL in the resulting SQL.

However when a field defaults to a string, e.g. 'foo', this value is not pre-filled in the textarea.
I'll look into this.

I appreciate the comment, but I never made claim that this occurred for a NULL default. I only tested with a default string. What I was trying to state was the error occurs (for a string default) whether the field is allowed to be NULL or not (in both cases supplying the same default string).

Thanks for anything you can do to help.

Fixed in subversion, thanks for reporting.

I see that I miss interpreted your first description.
But anyway it's fixed in subversion revision 12341.

Thanks for reporting
