CurrencyInputFormatter automatically appends zeros

[banderberg]

Upgraded from MoneyInputFormatter to CurrencyInput formatter, and discovered this issue:

When the user enters a value into a field using CurrencyInputFormatter, the field automatically adds the decimal place and two zeros. Further input by the user does not change the field.

Example: User wants to enter in 3.45. When they enter "3" the field changes to 3.00, and when they enter 4, nothing changes. They have to select into the string after the decimal place to enter in values.

Using version 2.9.11

Can you provide a minimum reproduction code?
Adding two zeroes is a correct behavior of this formatter because by default it has a mantissaLength set to 2. So in order to enter 3.45 you need to enter 3, then tap a period key and then enter 45.
I use this formatter in a few live projects and it works correctly. So I need to understand what exactly you are doing and what is going wrong

To reitterate, using the code above, I enter 3, and immediately it updates the control to 3.00 and I cannot enter more digits unless I backspace or manually select into the value. Setting mantissa 0 just makes it 3 with nothing after and I still cannot enter values.

@caseyryan what do you think?

[caseyryan]

I think it's a problem of Flutter itself. They add some bugs periodically and then fix them. I couldn't reproduce this
I'll try with the flutter version you've mentioned later though

[banderberg]

Would you mind showing me how yours behaves, or describing it? And please leave this issue open I would like to know if others are having this issue. I suspect some are due to the reacts.

I've finally found time to test it today. It was not a problem of Flutter but a problem of one of my other changes. Kinda side effect. Fixed in 2.9.14
