Document why TextEditingValue constructor with no parameters creates an invalid selection. #95978
Description
Any reason why the constructor with no parameters creates an invalid selection, with offset: -1?
const TextEditingValue({
this.text = '',
this.selection = const TextSelection.collapsed(offset: -1),
this.composing = TextRange.empty,
}) : assert(text != null),
assert(selection != null),
assert(composing != null);
This should be the same as clearing it:
void clear() {
value = const TextEditingValue(selection: TextSelection.collapsed(offset: 0));
}
So that these are equivalent:
controller.clear();
controller.value = const TextEditingValue();
If there is a valid reason for the constructor with no parameters to create an invalid object, this should be clearly stated in the docs.
