    Hello, We tested this issue with our modified sample code bellow. We can’t reproduce this issue. It’s working as expected with Titanium SDK 3.3.0 RC. In TextField object, editable property value should be Boolean type but given by string. If we change string type to Boolean then its working perfect. 
        <Alloy>
   <Window>
   <TextField editable="false" id="tf1" />
   </Window>
   </Alloy>
    to 
       
    <Alloy>
   <Window>
   <TextField editable=false id="tf1" />
   </Window>
   </Alloy>
    Thanks

    Please use editable=false

    Surprisingly, Alloy mark-up can have attribute values without being quoted!!!!! See XML definition from [W3C](http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_syntax.asp)
