This is the main reason why we're trying to write a new WYSIWYG editor from scratch and dump the current tinyMCE-based one: lack of stability. The editor is not meant to be heavy customized, as it becomes very fragile. While trying to fix some bug, we're introducing lots of other bugs we're not aware of. We can't know what has changed and why is something failing without many hours of debug, and even if we manage to spot the problem and try to fix it, we'll probably break something else. To revert the editor only, you can checkout the sources from http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/xwiki-platform/web/tags/xwiki-web-1.1.2/standard/src/main/webapp/ and replace the tiny_mce and wiki_editor directories from the running wiki with the ones from the SVN. Be sure to make a backup first, so that you can revert if something goes wrong. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/ _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
