CardService.newTextInput not rendering for some users

[Paul Nerie]

I have Gmail add-on, and text input is not rendering for some users.

I've posted this problem in Stackoverflow:
Google Apps Script CardService.newTextInput does not show for one user - Stack Overflow

Basically this code 

var cardMain = CardService.newCardBuilder().setHeader(CardService.newCardHeader());

cardMain.addSection(CardService.newCardSection()
.setHeader("Test")
.addWidget(CardService.newTextInput()
  .setFieldName("paultest")
)
);

 return cardMain.build();

Just shows this:

Instead of this:

Setting multiline=true, shows different appearance for different users. This is using the same Chrome browser (different profiles) on the same computer:

The one on the left is where the text input with multiline=false works.

Does anyone know what the problem is? It appears to be account related and not device or browser specific.

Thanks in advance!

Hey there,

I noticed that the UI library in GWA has been experiencing some strange bugs lately. It seems that the checkboxes in my app aren't showing up, and some components are appearing larger and less attractive than usual. Additionally, there have been some issues with certain buttons not functioning properly.

In my case the 'workaround' is setting multiline to true. 

I found another issue though with switch controls. In the snippet below, removing the '.setValue(false)' from the code causes two errors:
1. The action is not triggered

2. the formInputs does not 'see' the values of the switch control that are selected/true. It always return as null

cardMain.addSection(CardService.newCardSection()
    .setHeader("test section")
    .addWidget(CardService.newTextInput()
      .setFieldName("testinput")
      .setTitle("test input")
    )
    .addWidget(CardService.newDecoratedText()
      .setText("Test switch")
      .setSwitchControl(CardService.newSwitch()
        .setControlType(CardService.SwitchControlType.SWITCH)
        .setFieldName("testswitch")
        .setValue("switcher0")
        .setSelected(false)
        .setOnChangeAction(CardService.newAction().setFunctionName("testswitch"))
      )
    )
    .addWidget(CardService.newDecoratedText()
      .setText("Test switch")
      .setSwitchControl(CardService.newSwitch()
        .setControlType(CardService.SwitchControlType.SWITCH)
        .setFieldName("testswitch")
        .setValue("switcher1")
        .setSelected(false)
        .setOnChangeAction(CardService.newAction().setFunctionName("testswitch"))
      )
    )
  )

Frustrating how Google makes this 'inconveniences'.
