InputText: callback InsertChars() support resize callbacks correctly (followup to 24ff259) + fixed demo to use those functions. (#2006, #1443, #1008).

CHANGELOG.txt

@@ -86,6 +86,8 @@ Other Changes:
  - Metrics: Added io.MetricsRenderWindow to reflect the number of visible windows.
  - Metrics: Added io.MetricsActiveAllocations, moving away from the cross-context global counters than we previously used. (#1565, #1599, #586)
  - Demo: Added basic Drag and Drop demo. (#143)
+ - Demo: Modified the Console example to use InsertChars() in the input text callback instead of poking directly into the buffer.
+   Although this won't make a difference in the example itself, using InsertChars() will honor the resizing callback properly. (#2006, #1443, #1008).
  - Demo: Clarified the use of IsItemHovered()/IsItemActive() right after being in the "Active, Focused, Hovered & Focused Tests" section.
  - Examples: Tweaked the main.cpp of each example.
  - Examples: Metal: Added Metal rendering backend. (#1929, #1873) [@warrenm]
