Hi Vincent I was busy with other things and didn't have time to test (meantime using the v1.4.6 table editor). So, after a long time I started testing the new versions (v1.5/0.7.7).
To be honest I only need the table editing feature. That feature makes editing tables a breeze and I think it is worth to make a separate plugin for that feature alone (I'am still using the "table-only" version 1.4.6 daily). I don't need the possibility of editing of other parts (on a PC with large screen), but I can imagine other users do like it. For mobile devices it is a different story (small screen). In most of my TWs I installed Eric Shulman's Quick Edit package, but after some time I noticed I used that package only for a few special (custom defined) formats like an iFrame or an iFrame within a slider. All other formatting (headers, lists, bold, ... and even some CSS style wrapping) I do "by hand". For testing (Windows 7, Firefox 19.02) I made a minimal test case based on the new TW 2.7.1. When I only added TWtid.min and TWted.min I only got a blank screen after saving and reloading. At first I thought it had something to do with the TW version, but "older" TWs behaved the same. Older versions of FF did not help either. Since other browsers also showed a blank page, it wasn't a FF issue. But I remembered seeing the the v1.5 plugins working (weeks ago I did some preliminary testing). When I added TWtid.min, TWted.min *AND* TWtcalc.min (v0.7.7) to an empty TW everything worked as expected. After deleting TWtcalc.min the blank page reappeared! So there is a certain dependency between the plugins. That wasn't the case with version 1.4.6; I use TWtid and TWted WITHOUT TWtcalc! A MTC with TWtid.min, TWted.min and TWtcalc.min did NOT show the "backstage" button in the upper right corner. I could go within the backstage with help of the "EnableEdit" bookmarklet by Saq Imtiaz. It "repairs" the backstage/close buttons during the session, but after reloading the TW the backstage button doesn't show again. With tables, headers and ordered/unordered lists I only see the "C" button; no "E" button is visible although TWtid and TWted are enabled and TWted is active in View mode (default settings). I remember from preliminary testing I saw the "E" button and could do some editing. An older (v3.6) portable version of FF behaved the same: no backstage button, no "E" button. Chrome portable (v25) behaved the same as well: no backstage button, no "E" button. Another strange thing I noted in FF (NOT in Chrome): ---- !!!Ordered list # item1 # item2 # item3 ## item3.1 # item4 # item5 # item6 ## item6.1 !!!Unordered list * item1 * item2 * item3 ** item3.1 ---- Hovering over the block elements (in FF, v19 & v3.6) you see the "C" button except for item3 and item6 in the ordered list and item3 in the unordered list. In Chrome you see it everywhere. I don't know what is happening; I can't even start testing.
