Flex mobile text from hidden TextInput still visible

Question

I have weird bug with Flex TextInputs. I'm using Flex 4.9.0 in my Android app. App has view navigator in group component. I add custom popup by inserting it as a child of that group. Popup covers view in view navigator and everything seems fine. Unfortunently text from TextInputs in view is still visible and selectable. How is this possible? I thought that depths in Flex are sacred :/ I've embed font, but that hasn't changed anything.

Here is the image with this bug.

Sounds like you're using the "StageText" TextInput skin. It is always on top of everything else. You have to switch to the Flash TextField TextInput skin.

I wrote an in depth blog post on this. The work around is to switch back to the old TextInput skin:

<textInput skinClass="spark.skins.mobile.TextInputSkin" />
