TextField refresh problem with Nokia devices

[RalfHupfer]

Hi,

Some Nokia-devices (7210, 3200, 3300, but not series 60) show problems with TextFields in a Form. Consider the following code:

// in a class derived from Form
TextField tf = new TextField ("Label", "Text", 20, 0);
Item i = tf;
this.append (i);

The content of the TextField will not be shown, unless the user chooses to edit the TextField. This does not occur, if the TextField was been added to the Form like
this.append (tf);

Devices from Siemens and SonyEricsson do not show this behaviuor. Is there a workaround known (apart from giving up usage of the Item object)?

Thanks
Ralf

I really doubt there is any other workaround, if only J2ME supported reflection..
