Our editors have reported a bug which has occurred on several of the WCM pages they are working on. The bug causes text to be repeated in the free version of the MOSS editor. This is a regression from the beta, which does not show the same behaviour.
Our editors have been using the Telerik editor in design mode only, and their content originates in Word. However, to get to a repeatable test case I have been using the HTML source view. The following HTML is a minimal example which triggers the problem:
<p><span><ul><li>The ul tags around this produce the effect</li></ul>This text gets repeated <a href="http://www.telerik.com/">this link doesn't</a>.</span></p>
It seems to happen when you have a block element, containing an inline element, containing another block element (where li is being treated as a block element). This is invalid HTML of course, but it's the kind of HTML we're dealing with.
Removing the list eliminates the problem. Removing the span eliminates the problem. Removing the paragraph eliminates the problem. Changing the span to another inline element still causes the problem. Changing the list to another inline element still causes the problem (another "real" example had an h3 in here).
Our editors have been seeing the text get repeated whenever they re-save their document. In my testing I discovered that it also gets repeated when you switch between design mode and HTML source mode. This suggests that the error is somewhere in your client-side reformatting code.
I have tried re-installing the Telerik solution, but the problem remains. Until this problem can be resolved we have decided our best option is to revert to using the beta release.
