Bug: demo + modeler example: if editing text followed by saveXML, the new text is missing in the xml

Did you actually confirm the label editing though Enter or clicking outside of the element? If you don't do that before downloading the XML the label will be missing.

A screencast demonstrating your issue would be helpful.

I was of the impression that editing text without clicking outside would be enough to register the change.
I guess it's more of an inconvenience than a bug, then?

I can reproduce the issue. However, I don't think it's likely that we look into this. If you want to solve it on your own, you can call modeler.get('directEditing').complete() before modeler.saveXML() is executed.

Thanks for pointing me to directEditing! Since saveXML is async, I save on 'commandStack.changed'. So sadly calling complete() does not help here!
Do you think it's a good idea to listen for keyup and calling complete() then?

edit: I tested it real quick: it's not a good idea, because it removes text focus...

Have you tried to complete the direct editing when saveXML.start event is fired. This way you complete only once, and right before the XML serialization is performed.
