Did you get a solution on this ?
We are facing below issue with version "0.17.19" where as on version "0.14.62" its was working fine.
We were trying inline editing experience, So when we check the component.getEl() function it returns the updated text for component where as if we use component.toHTML() it returns old value not the updated value. While focus is still on text component.
reference HTML.
toHTML() out put
