Been having some strange results with the editor, mostly raised by my users (who're more used to the previous version of wysiwyg).. problems tend to range from the following (bear in mind that the users involved are using mainly the xwiki blog pages, updated to the correct version via the xar): -- Lost chunks of text - usually related to the indent/bullet-point feature. This is the most pressing issue.. -- "Strange" behavior of text - it puts a text box around random texts in the edit page; making it hard to "group select" chunks of text -- Loss of indentation, if indentation is used on paragraphs these are lost when saving. It should be noted they are still there when you copy-paste the text from the view layout. -- Similar to indentation, loss of spacing - put 4 spaces before the first word of a line, and it will render as 4 spaces when you save the first time. However, go to the edit view and the spaces before the first word are removed in the edit window, and if you save again spaces are removed from the view as well permanently thereafter -- "Strange" behavior of the bullet points - if you don't have a blank bullet at the end of a block of bullet points, the last one is usually removed.
Has anyone else had these issues, or perhaps have I got an odd setup? From What I can see, this is affecting mainly documents created prior to upgrading, however that's probably down to those being the documents users have used so far.
Yes Joe, I am seeing the same problems. They started when I upgraded to v1.4. It's a very serious problem for my users, almost all of whom use the WYSIWYG editor instead of the wiki editor.

Ok, so.. can one rollback the wysiwyg editor easily? The text getting random deletions is the biggest concern for me; the others are not as crucial. For the indentation loss problem: Part of the display is related to the style.css it seems (removing blockquote from the *see below* style makes it indent again); what other styles are used by the wysiwyg editor out of style.css? ** html, body,div, span, applet, object, iframe, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, pre, blockquote, a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code, del, dfn, em, font, img, ins, kbd, q, s, samp, small, strike, strong, sub, sup, tt, var, dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li, fieldset, form, label, legend, table, caption, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td { margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; outline: 0; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 100%; font-family: sans-serif; } ** As an aside.. this is a good example of a tool that should be self-contained - so that all styles/scripts can be rolled back/fixed easily by the user :).
