OnTextChanged event does not work on MultiLineEditableText widget

As a test in 4.8 in an empty project, I’ve created a simple widget blueprint consisting of just an MultiLineEditable text box, under events I add an event for OnTextChanged, all it should do is print the text to the screen.
However, the event is never called and nothing happens. (It also doesn’t work for OnTextCommited).

This exact set up works fine for a regular editable text box, seems like a bug to me, unless I am doing something wrong?

Hello Mosel3y,

I was able to reproduce this issue on our end. I have written up a report ( UE-17986) and I have submitted it to the developers for further consideration. I will provide updates with any pertinent information as it becomes available. Thank you for your time and information.

Make it a great day

I am using these in 4.8.3 and these events still are not firing.

Hello Mosel3y,

I went ahead and double checked on this issue for you. You are correct in that it has not been implemented into the 4.8.3 hotfix. However it appears that this issue has been resolved internally and that this solution will be available in a later release of the engine.

Make it a great day
