Firefox 3.6 - Can't delete inserted items from dialog

[Brian Garson]

Hello,

I have a pretty unique case, that I've only been able to reproduce in Firefox 3.6:

• create a sample project with a rad Editor
• load the page with the radEditor, you must start from a freshly loaded page, with no content in the editor.
• before doing anything else insert a link by using the link manager, or a photo using the photo manager, or paste from word using the dialog.. basically anything that allows you to enter content into the editor without actually typing it there yourself.
• once inserted, try to hit the backspace to erase it, or select it with the mouse to delete it.

As soon as you type another letter you can then erase everything.  I've been able to reproduce it using a button to insert content into the editor via javascript and the editor.pasteHTML() and/or editor.set_html().  I've tried to set the focus, or add something else after, it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Any ideas?

thanks,

Hi Brian,

I have already answered your support ticket on the subject. For convenience I will paste my answer here as well.

Thank you for bringing this problem to our attention. This is indeed very odd behavior. I have logged it into our ToDo for further investigation and we will do our best to fix it for one of the upcoming releases.

For the time being, as a workaround you can set some dummy content to the editor, if it is empty, during the OnClientLoad event using set_html() method, for example a single space ( ), e.g.:

function OnClientLoad(editor, args)
{
    if ($telerik.isFirefox)
    {
        var content = editor.get_html(true);
        if (content != "")
            editor.set_html(content);
        else
            editor.set_html(" ");
    }
 }

As a small token of gratitude I have updated your Telerik points.
