Would this be the same as rolling in the tiny_mce and wiki_editor folders
from my previous install (1.1)?
Also, are there any dependencies coming from the style.css that would need
to be modified?

On 1.4.1 I've been noticing some odd results
from the wysiwyg.
When editing, some folks have found that data is "lost" (it's actually
there, but because the wysiwyg editor didn't render the text, on next
edit+save combination the text is lost perminantly).
Also, at random times:
--bullet points are moving about (next line, previous line, etc when it's
showing as on the right line in edit mode.
--A textbox gets put around the text, making it harder to edit (only way
I
can explain it, it's like in Word when you
put a textbox into the
document).
I'm still trying to lock down a repeatable
case around those two.
The really sick part, is that when you're in edit mode it always "kinda"
looks right. Not quite, depending on the text, but almost. I am still
trying to reproduce some other issues I've been informed of, which have a
lower priority at this point.
Using Firebug reveals a bunch of inserted <div>'s at each bullet point
ONLY
under certain conditions (for example, when you
select text and bullet it
without starting from "fresh") - removing these <div> tags (again, with
firebug) shows that they're causing the majority of bullet point issues.
1: Is this perhaps why we are losing data as well? Random tags getting
put
in that are hidden - and then when the wysiwyg
editor tries to render it
as
wikitext, it doesn't "see" that
text?
2: Failing all else, how do I return to v1.1 wysiwyg editor? As it
stands,
I have a blanket refusal by users to use the wiki
system until this is
resolved - rolling back to an older released version is not really an
option, if we can roll back the wysiwyg editor and the problems it is
causing, I could salvage the bulk of issues.
This is the main reason why we're trying to write a new WYSIWYG editor from
scratch and dump the
current tinyMCE-based one: lack of stability. The editor is not meant to be
heavy customized, as it
becomes very fragile. While trying to fix some bug, we're introducing lots
of other bugs we're not
aware of. We can't know what has changed and why is something failing
without many hours of debug,
and even if we manage to spot the problem and try to fix it, we'll probably
break something else.
To revert the editor only, you can checkout the sources from
http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/xwiki-platform/web/tags/xwiki-web-1.1.2/…
and replace the tiny_mce and wiki_editor directories from the running wiki
with the ones from the
SVN. Be sure to make a backup first, so that you can revert if something
goes wrong.
