Setting default properties on TextItem/StaticTextItem turns off title

SmartClient Version: v9.0p_2013-10-24/LGPL Development Only (built 2013-10-24)

Browser: IE9

I think something broke in recently. I have code that overrides the defaults for many of the FormItem controls. This was working fine with the build from 10/5. I have not made any changes to this code, but recently my title disappeared on all of my TextItems after I rolled to the 10/24 build. In the debugger I can see that TextItem instances have a value of true for getShowTitle() until I call TextItem.setDefaultProperties(). After that call, showTitle is false.

During my startup I call

TextItem.setDefaultProperties(new PMDarkTextItem());

I've attached the source for PMDarkTextItem - it is very simple.

I also just noticed that I am having the same issue with SelectItem. I do the same thing with CombBoxItem, but it is working fine.

I was wrong, I am seeing this with TextItem, SelectItem, ComboBoxItem, and SpinnerItem.

We are unable to reproduce this issue in 4.0 or 4.1. The code below was used (in concert with your supplied .java file) and each time getShowTitle was true.

    	TextItem.setDefaultProperties(new PMDarkTextItem());
    	
    	final DynamicForm dynamicForm = new DynamicForm();
    	dynamicForm.setFields(new TextItem("a"),new SelectItem("b"), new ComboBoxItem("c"), new SpinnerItem("d"));
    	dynamicForm.draw();;
    	
    	Button button = new Button();
    	button.addClickHandler(new com.smartgwt.client.widgets.events.ClickHandler() {
			@Override
			public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
				SC.say("dynamicForm " + dynamicForm.getField("a").getShowTitle() );
			}
		});
    	button.setLeft(250);
    	button.draw();

Thank you for the time you spent on this. Upon furthur investigation I found the issue. I did the same type of thing to change the styling of RadioGroupItem. However in this, I called setShowTitle(false). When I set the default properties on RadioGroupItem this apparently changed the defaults on everything else. I was not expecting this interaction.

You're saying that a call to 'setDefaultProperties()' on RadioGroup is impacting other form item types (including TextItem)?
That seems like incorrect behavior. If you can show us a little standalone test case we can run demonstrating this problem, we'll take a look and see if there's any framework issue to address here
