WYSIWIG Editor Issues

Hey Guys!
  I have found that I am having multiple issues when using the WYSIWIG editor to create or edit a post:

* Text lines are not automatically wrapped when working in the editor. This makes it very hard to work with long text lines like this one!

* Text that is pasted into the WYSIWYG editor often comes in with a different font to the rest of the text. Sometimes it also comes in with extra linebreaks that are not in the original text and are impossible to remove using the editor.

* Sometimes when attempting to edit a post the editor won't allow text to be removed / changed. This situation does not change after a page reload or a browser re-start.

I am encountering all these errors on FireFox 3.0.11 on OSX

My forum url is: intrasitesearch.lefora.com

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for these details walden.

1. text lines should be automatically wrapped, do you have a screenshot of where that doesn't happen?

2. Yes, there is an issue when you paste text from another webpage, this happens on other rich text editors, like in google's gmail.  You will have to paste the text into a plain text editor, then copy it out and paste it into lefora.

3. this is a known bug, sometimes you have to hit 'space' within the editor after re-editing a post to make changes such as deleting.

i think what he means about text nt wrapping is when youre typing a post. not after it has been submitted. for instance, if i just lay on the "d" key forever. it wont wrap. this is only in the editor when typing a post, prior to submitting. what this does, like a oversized pic is just cut off your text.

And it doesn't wrap after submitting either...

Hey Chief,
  I have attached a screenshot of what I mean about the wrapping behaviour. It seems to be related to pasted text. I remember that it happened once without pasted text but I may have been typing within a tag in the WYSIWYG editor that was added by bit of pasted text that was subsequently deleted.

  I understand that unbroken long text lines will not wrap, I have no issue with that.

  Thanks for your prompt attention! I love the rest of the system, although a user reported this morning that their posts were disappearing. When I went to check the spam section I got a 500 error...

  -A
