Seems like potentially a life-cycle issue / native component / quill not destroying correctly. At least in my case, the below seemed to help:
[EDIT] Sorry but after many hours of experimentation I need to refine my answer. The only way I could get the value of lightning:inputRichText to display in all situations was defer the rendering of the component until after the value it was bound to was set.
--- component ---
<!--
- *note* even though we want this component to always render we are using a conditional
- so that rendering is deferred (while in Edit mode) until after the sObject is retrieved in order
- to resolve the issue. of edit sObject / destroy component.. edit sObject again. component
- does not properly display the note body upon second edit.'
-
- renderRTE is set to true in 2 use cases...
- 1. CREATE MODE - immediately in init when we want to insert a new sObject.
- 2. EDIT MODE - (Deferred) in the helper callback (fired from init)..after retrieving the sObject.
- (after v.svcNote is initialized with either a blank value if no note exists or
- or the existing sObject Note.body of the note associated with the sObject.
-->
<aura:if isTrue="{!v.renderRTE}">
<lightning:inputRichText aura:id="inputRT" value="{!v.svcNote.Body}"/>
</aura:if>
--- controller ----
doInit : function(cmp, evt, helper) {
if (isCreateMode) {
cmp.set('v.renderRTE', true);
} else {
helper.retrieveSObjectData();
}
}
---- helper ---
retrieveSObjectData: function(cmp,helper) {
var action=cmp.get('c.retrieveSvcAndNote');
action.setCallback(this, function(response) {
cmp.set("v.svcNote",
{
"sobjectType": "Note",
"Id":response.Id,
"Title": response.Title,
"ParentId": response.ParentId,
"Body": response.Body
}
);
cmp.set('v.renderRTE',true);
});
$A.enqueueAction(action);
),
