SID-01511: Disappearing Top Line on WYSIWYG Editing

Status:	Unanswered	TWiki version:	5.1.1	Perl version:	5.10.1
Category:	CategoryEditing	Server OS:	Linux 2.6.32	Last update:	12 years ago

Dear Developers and fellow users,

When I edit a single-line topic page in WYSIWG mode, the line disappears as soon as I enter <RETURN>.

This occurs if the single-line is either the new topic page author/timestamp or a single-line I've entered. This does not occur if there are already more than one line on the page. Also, this does not occur if I am editing in RAW mode.

I tried updating HTML::Parser Perl module; the current version is 3.69.

How do I fix this? Is there a TinyMCEPlugin preference I need to set?

Thanks, LawrenceWalker

Discussion and Answer

I can't verify this. Could you describe step by step? What browser & version do you use?

I am using Firefox 14.0.1.

Since I have changed the TWiki.WebTopicEditTemplate, I have been having problem repeating the behavior of the disappearing line.

However, I am getting a new but similar problem.

Here is what I have done to get the new problem:

1. Delete the contents of TWiki.WebTopicEditTemplate.
2. Goto Sandbox web.
3. Select Edit to enter a wikiword. Select Save.
4. Select the wikiword link. (This brings me to a new topic page named by wikiword.)
5. Select Edit and then enter some text. Select Save.
6. Navigate to Sandbox web.
7. Again, select the wikiword link. (Observe the entered text from step 5.)
8. Select Edit. Here I observed that the entered text does not appear in the Edit box. Select Cancel.
9. Sometimes when I repeat the previous two steps, the text does appear in the Edit box.

This happens to me as well. Using Firefox v20 on SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 (x86_64) v3.0.38-0.5-default Let me know if there's any further information I can provide. This does not happen using Windows 2008 Firefox v20

Changing status to Asked Question.

This behavior also only happens to only a select few TWiki sites.

Thank you
