Custom color error in Flex RichTextEditor workaround.

There's a problem with RichTextEditor in Flex. Hitting 'Enter' in color picker (to apply custom color) deletes currently selected text (described here ). There's a simple workaround:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical" initialize="init()" xmlns:local="*">
<mx:Script>
 <![CDATA[
  import mx.events.DropdownEvent;
  private function init():void
  {
   rte.colorPicker.addEventListener(DropdownEvent.OPEN, colorPickerOpen);
   rte.colorPicker.addEventListener(DropdownEvent.CLOSE, colorPickerClose);
  }
  
  private function colorPickerOpen(event:Event):void
  {
   this.rte.textArea.editable = false;
  }
  
  private function colorPickerClose(event:Event):void
  {
   this.rte.textArea.editable = true;
  }
  
 ]]>
</mx:Script>

 <mx:RichTextEditor id="rte" text="asdfasdf" width="100%" height="100%"/>

</mx:Application>
