Multiple TextArea on a page are show for every TextArea field on the page.

Here is the bug :

We have a WebForm with 4 TextAreas, each one for one question. At some point, Drupal renders [the number of TextArea] times for each TextArea.

Also, even if we have marked the TextArea as not resizeable, it is still possible for the user to resize it.

What has been tried to solve this :
----------------------------------------------

- Recreating the whole WebForm, grouping, etc.
- TextAreas were grouped / ungrouped in a FieldSet, without proper results.
- Each TextArea were created indenpendantly from each other (with no FieldSet), without results.

Particularities :
--------------------

- We use Page Breaks (2) before having this displayed.

What is always seen :
-----------------------------

- In Firebug, it has rendered every (all) the TextArea for each TextArea component.

I can't reproduce this problem on a clean installation of Webform. Do you have modules installed which may be affecting the functionality of Webform? Can you reproduce this problem on a form with just one page? In order to solve this problem, I need instructions on recreating a simple form from scratch that exhibits the problem.

We also haven't had any similar reports of this problem from other users, making me think this may be a site-specific issue or module conflict.

Hi Quicksketch, and thanks for your quick response.

On our installation, it is reproduced by creating a basic Webform with 5 inputs :

1 Textfield (shown correctly);
4 Textareas (displayed 4 times each, 5 for 5 Textareas and so on).

Do you recognize any conflicting modules listed below ?

There is an update here.

I bypasses the problem by splitting the 4 TextArea (thus, questions) with 3 page breaks and it worked fine.

It's just bad for the user because ha has to go thru 4 pages instead of only one.

If I were to take a stab at what would be the source of the problem, I'd guess Display Suite, though I know a lot of users use DS with Webform all the time.

However from the module list you've given me, I'm unlikely to set up a sandbox with all those modules just to test. I can tell you that this problem doesn't exist on new installations of Webform, so I don't think the Webform module is responsible for the problem. I need steps to reproduce it that lead directly to the problem to fix this. "Install 40 contrib modules and make a form" surely isn't the best way to reproduce this problem.

i can report the exact same problem happening.

im using display suite, webform, webform conditional and webform translation.

Did you ever get this issue resolved? I am having the same problem and was wondering if you identified the culprit?

I'm closing this issue because it appears to be a conflict of some other modules outside of Webform. There hasn't been any activity here for months.
