Cannot paste content into Rad Editor when in design mode

[Michael Kniskern]

I cannot paste content into the Rad Editor control when it is in design mode.  I have tried both the command defined in the ToolsFile attribute and default windows command (CTRL + V).  I am able to paste content when it is in HTML view.  Here is my code:

<telerik:RadEditor ID="radMessageBody" runat="server" RenderMode="Lightweight" NewLineMode="Br" ToolsFile="~/xml/BasicTools.xml" ContentAreaCssFile="~/css/EditorContentArea.css" />

<root>
    <tools name="MainToolbar" dockable="true" enabled="true">
 <tool name="FindAndReplace" /><br>    <tool separator="true"/><br>    <tool name="Undo" /><br>    <tool name="Redo" /><br>    <tool separator="true"/><br>    <tool name="Cut" /><br>    <tool name="Copy" /><br>    <tool name="Paste" shortcut="CTRL+!" /><br>  </tools><br>  <tools name="Formatting" enabled="true" dockable="true"><br>    <tool name="Bold" /><br>    <tool name="Italic" /><br>    <tool name="Underline" /><br>    <tool separator="true"/><br>    <tool name="ForeColor" /><br>    <tool name="BackColor"/><br>    <tool separator="true"/><br>    <tool name="FontName"/><br>    <tool name="RealFontSize"/><br>  </tools><br></root>

It does not work in either Chrome and IE.

Any ideas how to resolve this?

Hi Michael,

I tested the provided configuration on my side but the Editor behaves as expected both in Chrome and IE. Can you take a look at my test and see whether I am not leaving anything out? - http://screencast.com/t/Z3Fq6SyK3Y

Can you provide some more details on the matter?

• Are you reproducing the problem in our online demos?
• Which version of the controls is used in your application?
• Are there any JavaScript errors thrown on the page when the issue occurs?

Looking forward to your reply,

We have upgraded the application we built using Telerik (to the latest version 2016.1.225.45 ) and RadEditor Paste functionality is not working as well. There was no change in environment other than upgrading telerik. I will do more investigation put feedback.

After some more investigation I found out that I had ASP.NET validator in the page (I think any validator cause this  but I had custom validator). From another experience I remember that if the issue is from validator we have to put a appsettings in web.config so I added the following line in web.config (under appsettings) and the issue is resolved  

    <add key="ValidationSettings:UnobtrusiveValidationMode" value="None" />
