When I evaluate the following form,
(defun magithub-issue-form ()
(interactive)
(with-current-buffer (generate-new-buffer "*magithub issue*")
(switch-to-buffer-other-window (current-buffer))
(widget-value-set (widget-create 'editable-field
:tag "Title"
:format "%t: %v\n\n"
:size 76)
"Some default title")
(use-local-map widget-keymap)
(widget-setup)))
I get a buffer that looks like this:
Title: Some default title<editable field starts here>
widget-value-set works for other widget types (like checklist), so why does it misbehave for editable-field?
A similar issue is happening for widget type text:
