Hi All,
On an infrequently maintained xwiki instance (.deb on Ubuntu), which was running 8.4.1, the default editor is WYSIWYG
In Administration | Edit Mode Settings | DEFAULT EDITOR, the dropdown box contains Wysiwyg and Text, and does NOT contain CKEditor
That's normal. Below "Default Editor" you should have "Default WYSIWYG Editor" as in http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/ Administration+Application#HEditModeSettings . That is the property that should list CKEditor as a possible value. But CKEditor should be the default WYSIWYG editor in XWiki 8.4.1 even if you leave this property unset.
The edit mode looks like
This is how it should look like, since XWiki 8.2 http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/ReleaseNotes/ReleaseNotesXWiki82RC1/... . So your administration UI (i.e. wiki pages) has not been upgraded property. You're missing at least the "Default WYSIWYG Editor" drop down and the "Syntaxes" configuration section (on the left).
If a page in the wiki is selected, the edit icon has the options in the dropdown for WYSIWYG, CKEditor, Wiki & Inline form, then below it, Objects and Class.
XWiki 8.4.1 is using CKEditor 1.9 which doesn't extend the edit menu, see http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/CKEDITOR-96 .
If CKEditor is selected, the edit window is not shown.
If I try to edit a (blank) page with CK editor

Did you upgrade to 8.4.1 from a previous version? It may be the case that CKEditor was not upgraded properly. Or maybe you didn't clear the browser cache.
Yes it was updated, but I couldn't tell you what the previous version was, I think it started out as a 2.x.x release
I tried an update to 8.4.4, and there is no change in Administration | Edit Mode Settings | DEFAULT EDITOR, but when a page is edited, it now shows in the place where I would expect to see the edit window the below
Content #ckeditor($parameters)
It seems CKEditor was still not upgraded properly.
As ckeditor shows as "Installed as a dependency", how might I go about upgrading it properly ?
You cannot upgrade it in 8.4.1 ( http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XE-1570 ) but 1.10 is the latest version ATM anyway. The problem you have, most probably, is that it wasn't upgraded correctly to this 1.10 version, and since you're also missing stuff from the administration it looks like the problem is more general: the upgrade to XWiki 8.4.1 was not done correctly (at least for the UI part). Did you use the Distribution Wizard to upgrade the wiki pages? You probably had merge conflicts which were not resolved correctly (either by Extension Manager or by the person that did the upgrade).
Cheers
