Klenkes Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 This morning a client contacted me with a strange problem. At first I couldn't reproduce it because I use Chrome but then I realized that it only affects Firefox and CKE fields. If you type some text and then press SHIFT+ENTER to insert a <br> then wirte some text in the second line and then place the cursor at the start of the second line and hit backspace, the cursor jumps to the wrong position. The clients content editors are extremely frustrated by this because they have to search for the cursor I can reproduce this behavior in almost all PW versions, even a clean install witout any CKE plugins. This whole behavior seems somehow familiar, like I have heard it before, but I can't remenber... Anyone knows a solution except using Chrome?
Zeka Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 Hi @Klenkes I can't reproduce it with https://ckeditor.com/ckeditor-4/ and Firefox Quantum. Maybe it worth to raise an issue here https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor-dev
Klenkes Posted April 9, 2018 Author Posted April 9, 2018 Really? I tried with Firefox Quantum 59.0.2 32Bit and 64Bit on https://ckeditor.com/ckeditor-4/ and can reproduce it... But what does it mean? I will read through the issues first.
Zeka Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 Just tried it one more time and I see the same behavior as yours, that's strange. Tried to find something similar in the issues list, with no luck, so just open the new one.
Christophe Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 (edited) As you know... There is always Ctrl + Z to undo Shift + Enter. And placing the cursor at the end of the former line and pressing Delete. (Is the cursor also not where it should be?) If there is no other solution... NB: yesterday I tried to center an image with a style that centered the paragraph. It always made the image disappear. Clicking on Source, I saw that something was not normal, and that helped me resolve the problem. WYSIWYG editors can sometimes nest tags strangely, etc. But yours seems to be another kind of issue.

I will file a new one. 5 hours ago, Christophe said: There is always Ctrl + Z to undo Shift + Enter. And placing the cursor at the end of the former line and pressing Delete. (Is the cursor also not where it should be?) There are a few ways to avoid the error but for now I recommended to use Chrome instead of FF. These are professional texters and they are used to work in a certain way(we all know the feeling). But they will have to adapt for now. Thanks for testing. 1

Klenkes Posted April 10, 2018 Author Posted April 10, 2018 I know. But the content editors are women in their end thirties and who am I to argue with them? I don't have a death wish I filed a bug report with CKE and it was closed with a note that it is FF issue. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1452906 1

I don't have a death wish did LOL I have tested this now with FF 58.0.2, Windows 8, and almost the latest PW version (CKEditor field inside a repeater matrix, multilang-setup). I tried placing the cursor at the start of the 2nd line with the home button, with my mouse, and with going back using the arrow-left button. The cursor is exactly where it's supposed to be. Perhaps you should also mention what kind of CKE setup / config you have, to narrow it down.

The "girls" said that the problem started about 10-14 days ago. Perhap the problem was introduced to FF with V 59? 13 hours ago, dragan said: Perhaps you should also mention what kind of CKE setup / config you have, to narrow it down. Doesn't matter. It also happens on CKE's own demo. https://ckeditor.com/ckeditor-4/ 1
Klenkes Posted April 11, 2018 Author Posted April 11, 2018 Okay, my first attempt with a screencast as animated gif. This is how the problem looks. Made with CKE's demo on their website: 1
