[Bug] [Fixed] WYMEditor and EditArea badly broken in everything but Firefox

[thruska]

Yay! Latest repo for WYMEditor appears to be functional under IE9. It, unfortunately, gained that wonderfully annoying infinite vertical expansion issue when I integrated it into Barebones CMS but at least both core editors now work again everywhere. ACE replaces EditArea wherever it works and the latest WYMEditor seems to stabilize the content editor for the most part. Basic WYMEditor testing shows what looks like a few unexpected, but nice, features.

Waiting on two last (little?) bugs to be resolved at the GitHub level before I close this issue. But I can finally move onto more important things while I wait.

New statuses, after some quick tests, in order of most stable to least:

Firefox 5: Both WYMEditor and ACE work flawlessly.

Opera 11: WYMEditor has really minor glitches (minor enough no one will really notice). ACE works flawlessly.

Safari 5 & Chrome 12: WYMEditor infinite vertical expansion, but otherwise works. ACE works flawlessly.

IE9: WYMEditor infinite vertical expansion with rogue scrollbars, but otherwise works. ACE works flawlessly.

IE6: WYMEditor works fine BUT the iframe is being pushed down below the sidebar that is supposed to travel alongside it. I'm also getting a Javascript error when scrolling at the point of expansion but IE6's debugging tools are part of the "severely lacking" department. EditArea still works as expected.


Once again, Firefox takes the lead with both editors there operating flawlessly. I do most of my development in Firefox as do those making these components, so testing coverage is a lot better for that browser.

I'm not really caring about IE6 at this point. I know WHY the iframe issue is happening but I don't want to really "fix" it. I intentionally dropped the surrounding 'table' tags to standardize the layout so I wouldn't need hacks like the 'table'. Besides, the editor works well enough given the age of the browser and there is a chance a random upstream bugfix will solve the problem for me.

Yikes. I just looked at when I started this thread. Three months of wrestling with this mess! And I still have some effort to go on unrelated tasks for 1.1 before I can do a RC build. Enough blabbing. Disappearing again.
