Editor inserts h2 tag instead of line break

[Ivan]

Hello,

I have the following scenario:
1. configure editor to use br as a line breaks
2. insert mark up into editor

<h2>text</h2>
<span>111</span>
<h2>text2</h2>
<span>111</span>

3.in design mode set cursor before the "text2" and press enter to add an empty line
4. switch to html mode - you get the following mark up

<h2>text</h2>
<span>111</span>
<h2></h2>
<h2>text</h2>
<span>111</span>

an extra h2 tag is added instead of br. How this can be fixed?

Hi,

Thank you for reporting this problem.

I have created a public item for this issue, so that you can monitor its progress, comment and vote on it here. However, I am sorry to say that I cannot guarantee with any time bound for the fix, as our developers are currently working on already scheduled tasks of RadEditor that have also high priority.

For the time being, I have prepared the following workaround:

<telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1" runat="server" OnClientCommandExecuted="OnClientCommandExecuted">
</telerik:RadEditor>

<script type="text/javascript">

    function OnClientCommandExecuted(editor, args)
    {
        if (args.get_commandName() == 'EnterNewLine')
        {
            setTimeout(function()
            {
                var selectedElement = editor.getSelectedElement();
                if (selectedElement && selectedElement.previousSibling &&
                    selectedElement.nodeName == selectedElement.previousSibling.nodeName &&
                     /^(<br>)?$/g.test(selectedElement.previousSibling.innerHTML))
                {
                    var br = editor.get_document().createElement('br');
                    $telerik.$(selectedElement).prepend(br);
                    var extraElement = selectedElement.previousSibling;
                    $telerik.$(extraElement).remove();
                }
            }, 0);
        }
    }
</script>

I have handled the OnClientCommandExecuted event and if the executed command is EnterNewLine check for an extra element.

I have also update your Telerik points for reporting this problem.
