Hi,

I am using RC2 . My forum is www.naradhavicharam.com. Whenever I use WYSIWYG editor and post something, the space between paragraphs got deleted. I tried and tested many time. You can check it yourselves. Just post some big article with WYSIWYG and then hit post. It will be posted but the space between the paragraphs got deleted. Every time I post, I have to disable the editor. It will be nice if you can look in to it.

thanks

Dilip

I think I've seen this reported before, I don't seem to find it right now though.

Thank you, in any case. :)

Any method to overcome it ? I am still facing problem.  :(

Every time I use copy and paste I get he same problems but to make it even worse, if I paste a paragraph I will get up to 6 or 7 words that has had the space deleted too, so I have to edit, and separate the words, then sometimes re-edit 2 or 3 more times until it stays right after saving. Very Frustrating! :(

So, what browser, and what are you trying to copy/paste, exactly? What theme are you using?

Any more information? Can this still be reproduced on this site?

SMF 2.0.2

Well while trying to reproduce this bug I found a complete opposite bug where line break was getting doubled.


Coming back to topic, I have tested WYSIWYG with following browsers and was unable to reproduced the mentioned issue

- Firefox 9
- Safari 5.1.1
- Opera 10.60
- Chrome 16
- IE 9

Edit - Found the similar topic over here (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=392418.0).

So, any solution to this issue (space gets lost)? I'm also having a problem with headings, which gets lost too and displayed as normal text.

And it seems to me that it's the same on this forum too.

Hello vazmer and welcome to sm.org!

Could you please provide a detailed description of how to to reproduce the issue?

For example, after copying one post from some external site to text area this is what I get (toggle view enabled, tested on this forum with Firefox 10 but it was the same on earlier versions as well): http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/149/f4992dc1a4244b5c8ab083c.png

And this is what I get after pressing the preview button: http://img851.imageshack.us/img851/333/2395ebd4ad824ff69a57133.png

Doing the same on my forum after pressing the preview button I'm getting: http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/3885/368fa0eb754b4ab09182c07.png (notice joined paragraphs, and lost heading attribute).


With Google Chrome 17 it gets even worse.

After copying to text area on this forum: http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/964/mirrorby.jpg

And after pressing previewing it: http://img848.imageshack.us/img848/3625/mirror1g.jpg

Pretty much the same on mine forum as well. And I get complains from users, so it's not just me.

This is the html generated by Chome in the WYSIWYG editor when I do a copy and paste of the page you are showing:

Honestly I don't have the slightest idea how to translate this into any kind of meaningful bbcode...

It looks ugly, I agree. And it's not only problem with that article. It's the same with any other (those I tested).
