h:outputText escape attribute not honored during rerender

[shakenbrain]

With the following XHTML, I produce two identical lines of text, one inside an <a:outputPanel> and one outside:

<h:form id="test">
 <a:outputPanel id="testPanel">
 <h:outputText value="#{jobTicketActivityFormatter.result()}" escape="true"/>
 </a:outputPanel>
 <br/>
 <a:commandLink value="test" reRender="testPanel" action="#{jobTicketActivityFormatter.test}"/>
</h:form>
<br/>
<h:outputText value="#{jobTicketActivityFormatter.result()}" escape="true"/>

On the initial page load, I get the expected result:

This is some pre-formatted text: <b>This is a test</b>
test
This is some pre-formatted text: <b>This is a test</b>

After clicking the a:commandLink, the output panel is rerendered incorrectly. The 'escape' attribute (set to true) is ignored. The first line is then rendered thus:

This is some pre-formatted text: This is a test

Is this a bug? Does anyone have an idea for a workaround?

#{jobTicketActivityFormatter.result()} returns

<b>

or

<b>

originally?

When #{jobTiketActivityFormatter.result()} returns this:

This is some pre-formatted text: <b>This is a test</b>

this is displayed on the initial page load:

This is some pre-formatted text: <b>This is a test</b>

and this is displayed on a subsequent re-render:

This is some pre-formatted text: This is a test

When #{jobTiketActivityFormatter.result()} returns this:

This is some pre-formatted text: <b>This is a test</b>

this is displayed on the initial page load:

This is some pre-formatted text: <b>This is a test</b>

and this is displayed on a subsequent re-render:

This is some pre-formatted text: <b>This is a test</b>

could you just answer my question ?

I believe I did, but maybe not clearly enough. I tried both ways, having jobTicketActivityFormatter.result() initially return '', and having it initially return ''. In both cases, the displayed results change after the outputPanel is re-rendered.

In my original post, the initial value returned was ''.

Sigh. That's what happens when trying to post half-asleep. Another attempt:

<b>

and having it initially return

In both cases, the displayed results change after the outputPanel is re-rendered.
