TinyMCE deletes all content after saving

[cpx3]

I still have an extremely annoying problem with TinyMCE Textureas, especially when used in combination with the commercial Combo field type. When working on a site with five combos Processwire randomly deletes the content of the field and saves a blank version, so that all the work is gone. This is totally unpredictable as it has nothing to do with the field I edit, the problem seems to appear randomly. I only see that all the text is deleted (and of course cannot be restored, especially if it was written days ago). Any idea what I a doing wrong?

Thanks in advance (for saving me hours of work),

Bernhard

Hi Bernhard,

Does the text contain emojis or special characters?

This commonly causes issues with sites I work on. Especially when the database is set to not support MB4.

Quel problema sembra davvero frustrante, soprattutto dopo aver passato tempo a montare! Mi sono trovato in situazioni simili, dove errori inaspettati hanno causato grandi ritardi. Curiosamente, ho trovato migliori esempi di salvataggio automatico in una piattaforma casino senza invio documento, dove processi fluidi riducono le difficoltà. Forse TinyMCE potrebbe prendere spunto da questi design orientati all’utente.

All good?

Edit: Thanks for the update.

Sorry, I was on Holidays with no access to a computer. No, it contains only text and formatting. No other characters.

Do you have any hooks that might be interacting with the page saving? Or any other modules, like ProDrafts?

No, neither nor. It only happens when I use them inside a combo and only when with TinyMCE.
