Steps to reproduce issue with attached isolates test case:

• Load welcomeICEfaces.jsf page.
• Click the calendar icon to choose a date.
• Select the contents of the input field and hit the delete button.
• Tab out of the input field, the previous value is shown again.

No such problem in 1.8. The difference in behavior is that in 1.8, there is no update from server because there is no DOM diff., which is correct; whereas in 3.1 there is update from server even though there is no DOM diff., which is wrong? See screenshot-01 and -02.png.

Seems in 3.1 there is a mysterious extra submit that causes the problem. See screenshot-03.png.

Extra submit is from icecore:singleSubmit. Seems default for partialSubmit is true, so in the example there are two submits. We should either use one or the other, not both.

Explicitly setting partialSubmit to false still doesn't solve the problem. Tracked down the root cause. Some hidden fields are submitted when using partialSubmit, but not when using icecore:singleSubmit. This causes a huge chunk of code in decode() to be missed. See screenshot-04.png.

Suggestion from Mark: move hidden fields to inside component.

Hidden fields were added via FormRenderer utility method. That's why they were outside of component.

Use own method to render hidden fields inside component, but it still doesn't work. See screenshots -05 and -06.png.

As per discussion in meeting, icecore:singleSubmit may work only for simple single-input-element component. Not working for complex components like calendar, and there is no easy way to fix it for now.

It in order to properly support the ice:selectInputDate with ice core:singleSubmit the component will need to be substantially reworked to support singleSubmit actively itself, and not really on the default dom event bubbling technique that the singleSubmit tag uses.

Currently out of scope pending user demand.

Check for single submit and use ice.se() where iceSubmitPartial() is being used now. Partial submit should override single submit if both specified. Use same JS utility created in ICE-8389 to cancel bubble.

Done.
