Wow, first time I ever seen this. Prior to adding pe:timePicker to one page, the page has p:focus that sets focus on many different components on the page. The first few components on the page is 2 sets of p:calendar and pe:timePicker. On AJAX response/update, p:focus is updated, and there seems to be a dance/animation going on the page, where BOTH pe:timePicker is playing tug-of-war for gaining 'focus'. While they are playing tug-of-war, the ajaxStatus is in the middle of it, taking no sides, but encouraging the two pe:timePicker's to go, go, go, go...infinitely, as long as the page is the active page in the browser. :)

xhtml below

Code: Select all

<p:layoutUnit position="center">
    <p:focus id="columnWithFocus" for="#{pf_orderCostDetailsController.columnWithFocus}"/>

            </h:panelGrid>

        </h:panelGrid>

There is some bean code that updates the p:focus via AjaxBehaviorEvent on components; to fix this, I'm going to make sure p:focus is not setting focus on the pe:timePicker components. :)

The problem is caused by what I documented in issue 277, and the solution was to remove the p:ajax with event="..." that was not defined or demonstrated in showcase; also, I removed p:focus from update="...".

Code: Select all

<pe:timePicker id="tripTime" value="#{pf_ordersController.tripTime[0]}"
               label="Trip Time" mode="popup" showPeriod="true" style="width: 100px;">
    <f:convertDateTime pattern="hh:mm a" />
    <p:ajax partialSubmit="false" event="close"
            listener="#{pf_ordersController.tripTimeChangedOnAddEditClose}"
            update="returnTime :orderAddForm:formMessages :orderAddForm:totalCostDiscountPanel :orderAddForm:pricingTabView :orderAddForm:dt_bookedTrips :orderAddForm:_ajax_status"/>
</pe:timePicker>
Whew, don't know why I didn't test that earlier. i was ready to go to bed and everything, but something told me to test that page (added pe:timePicker to 3 pages, forgot to test that page, because I copied/pasted the xhtml, and that xhtml was invalid/problematic, since it had 2 p:ajax for each pe:timePicker).

Now, I can call it a night/day. :)
