MagicTextView as an EditText?

[pzmudzinski]

I'm trying to use MagicTextView as a EditText. Since EditText derives from TextView, I thought it should be straight forward and I should simply change MagicTextView base class from TextView to EditText.
Sadly, text only displays its border, without fill effect:

Anyone has idea what might be causing that?

I've solved that problem by using software acceleration.

same effect for android:textIsSelectable="true" in MagicTextView (only border shown)
