[Xsltforms-support] missing update in xf:select1 where the value is loaded after a submission

[Efraim F. <efr...@gm...>]

Hi,

The attached XForms document demonstrates a bug that occurs in a rare 
set of conditions.

(1) The instance "result" holds a value controlled by an XForms 
control.  It may be invalid when the XForms document is loaded (in the 
MWE, it is forced to be invalid).
(2) Its invalidity causes an xforms-out-of-range exception on its 
select1 control.
(3) The xforms-out-of-range exception causes a submission event, which 
loads a temporary instance with a default value
(4) after the submission, the default value is copied into the result 
instance.  That should make the result instance valid.

Step (4) is the actual bug I'm trying to diagnose but I can't find an 
MWE that reproduces it exactly.
This minimum working example shows a slightly different, but possibly 
related bug: In this case, step (3) happens and the setvalue occurs but 
the control is not updated to reflect the change in value of 
instance('result')/id

Directly loading the value using xf:setvalue without a submission in 
between works as expected.

In the latter case, the xforms-recalculate, xforms-revalidate, and 
xforms-in-range events are sent after the xf:setvalue; in the former 
case, they are not.  (In the bug I'm really aiming at, xforms-in-range 
occurs and the control's state is updated, but the control remains 
invalid until another control is updated).

It does not matter whether the xf:setvalue is in a handler for 
xforms-out-of-range or the submission's xforms-submit-done

I'm using XSLTForms dataisland branch r479, running under eXist 1.5.  
I've tried this on Firefox 3.6 and Google Chrome 9.0 under Linux.

Thanks,
