Description

Installed new site using v7.1. WYSIWYG editor was working OK (not perfect, but could at lease copy and paste Word documents with 85% accuracy, switching between source and WYSIWYG worked, tables worked, inserted HTML tags worked).

After upgrade to 7.2 WYSIWYG has become unusable. The following problems have been seen (there may be others):

  1. Toggling between source and WYSIWYG (using the SOURCE button) gives mixed results. Wiki syntax in source is correct but in WYSIWYG it displays wrong (most notable is bold not parsed). WYSIWYG will display page semi correctly in the editor window with some of the formatting, e.g. auto numbering is correct, but when displayed in preview (or saved page) wiki syntax is ignored and is display as one long line (no cr or formating).
  2. Editing a table in Source will cause any other table to break by changing the wiki syntax by adding a carriage return after each cell and the cell delimiter.
  3. Can not post text copied from a Word document any more. Comes out as HTML code unparsed, then on save displays as one long string of HTML code.
  4. When inserting HTML code using
    Copy to clipboard
    {HTML()}...{HTML}
    to change styles, save sometimes drops first two character, changes first > to HTML
    Copy to clipboard
    & gt;
    and drops closing HTML tag, at other times will add
    Copy to clipboard
    < x >
    at third character. Can not correct using any editing method in the WYSIWYG editor.


Standard editor works fine.

Solution
This is presumably fixed in Tiki 12 or earlier. Please reopen (mail chealer at gmail.com if you cannot) if this persists in a current version.
