RichTextEditor bug

[mouli]

Hello,

I noticed that none of the controls (font, font size, bold/italics/underline of text, text color) except justification works on IE7. It can be reproduced in
the showcase itself.

These selections work for any new text that's entered. If I type in a text and
then apply the controls they do not work.

It seems to work fine in Firefox/Safari/Chrome. Didn't try with other versions
of IE though.

Hi Mouli
We tested this (on IE 6 7 and 8) and don't see the issue.

Try the following steps:
- load the rich text editor demo
- select any block of the pre-existing text
- click the "B" control
The selected text picks up bold styling. The same steps work for the other controls (changing color, font, italic etc)

If you're continuing to see problems with this can you post exactly what steps you took, and what failed for you

Thanks

Hi Isomorphic,

I could reproduce this on IE8 too yesterday.

However, after playing with it, I am seeing erratic behaviour on IE7 & IE8 today. It works fine the very first time. If I select a different text and apply the control, the control gets applied to the first selected text always. I
tried selecting different text each time and applying the control, but
the controls get applied to the very first text that I had selected. If I
type in some new text and then try to apply the controls to the newly
entered text (after selecting the text), the controls do not work at all.

I reloaded the showcase and tried it again. If I try to change the text color
to red for a section of selected text, it didn't work. None of the controls
work after that.

Thanks,
Mouli

Hi Mouli
We're still having trouble reproducing this. Can you let us know exactly what your environment is (O/S, version, browser, full version string)

And just to re-confirm - you're seeing this behavior running against the live version here:
http://www.smartclient.com/smartgwt/showcase/#form_controls_richedit

Correct?

Thanks

Hi Isomorphic,

Yes, I am seeing the problem at the live version from the URL you mentioned:

http://www.smartclient.com/smartgwt/showcase/#form_controls_richedit

Find below the details you requested:

OS: Windows XP Professional
Browser: IE 7.0.5730.13

I found the same problem with the RichTextEditor on IE9.

The HTML text below pasted on the showcase RichTextEditor example also causes the same problem:

<STRONG><FONT size=2><FONT face=Verdana><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00" color=#0000ff>Pesticidas<BR><BR></FONT><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; COLOR: #ff6600; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Código xxxx– Produto xxxx – Fornecedor XXX - o resultado da determinação de xxx encontra-se acima dos valores legais. Os resultados encontram-se acima do limite estabelecido </SPAN></FONT></FONT></STRONG>
