Quoting text (WYSIWYG)
Hi!
I don't know if the forum here is the latest version of Elkarte, but I've noticed a couple of glitches...
When I have WYSIWYG switched on, the Quote feature doesn't seem to work too well. The quote box shows in the body of the editor, but I can't type outside the quote box! I try clicking below the quote, but this doesn't help. The only solution is to turn off WYSIWYG...
Another thing that I noticed just now when writing this message. The body was blank and I accidentally hit a key. Then I delete this letter, thus returning to a blank body. Immediately an error message pops up telling me that the body is blank! I suppose this is meant to come up when I hit Send.
By the way, the WYSIWYG quote box looks really nice. I always wondered why this wasn't shown in a graphical way in other editors. If someone's using WYSIWYG, then they certainly don't want to see the quote tags, especially when they contain a whole load of extra attributes etc...

I should also mention that I noticed this when using Firefox 24 on Ubuntu.

And if you try:
WYSIWYG on
add two consecutive smiley (clicking twice in a row)
switch off the WYSIWYG from the button inside the editor
switch it on again.
Does it work?

Oh dear, I'm going crazy here. Putting smileys everywhere, trying to make sense of what sequence of events causes the problem! It seems almost random at the moment. Sometimes I notice the problem with the lack of space between smileys, sometimes I don't... And it's not a clear cut issue affecting only the wink, as I first thought.

Try this:
1. WYSIWYG mode ON.
2. Blank body, put two identical smileys on first line, then press Return,
3. On the next line place two more smileys there. (both the same, but different to ones on the first line)
4. Try switching between WYSIWYG on/off....
- the space problem seems to only affect the smileys on the second line. It doesn't seem to make a difference what smileys are used on the first or second line....

I don't have time ATM to refresh the site, but it needs to be updated, I'll try that this PM
In the meantime I updated the scripts (editor) and its css to see if the latest stuff fixes some or all of these problems.
There have been several editor updates so lets hope we got some of these fixed without introducing some others!

Look better, both bugs work at the moment here.
There is just the fact that the area changes size switching from normal to WYSIWYG...at least here.

Thanks for updating the site, Spuds. The quote and smileys seem to be working ok now.
Just a couple of things:
1. WYSIWYG causes a very noticeable lag when typing, at least in my browser (Firefox 24, linux). I type and there's often a delay before any text actually appears on the screen. In fact, this meant that I had to turn WYSIWYG off in order to type this message comfortably.
2. Wrong icon for the mouse pointer when hovering over the bar to resize the text box.
