Focus problem with Real Time HTML View module

[Trevor]

A customer has reported a problem with the Real-Time Html View module. The behavior can be seen using the Telerik demo editor.


Go here to access the editor with the Real-Time Html View module enabled:

   http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/editor/examples/builtinmodules/defaultcs.aspx


Steps to reproduce the problem:


1. switch to HTML view

2. delete everything in HTML view

3. switch back to Design view

4. click in the Design view area and start typing.


After a few seconds of typing, the focus will shift to the Real-Time Html View area. Anything you have typed in the design window will be lost.


Can you offer a solution to this problem?

Thanks!

We are also seeing this issue.

On a similar note it's even happening when we are switching between html and design in the normal editor.

Hi Trevor,

I can confirm that the problem is reproducible only when switching from HTML to Design mode. The problem is relater to a timeout handler that populates the HTML view module.

You can workaround the problem by overriding the initialize method of the module:

<telerik:RadEditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor1">
    <Modules>
        <telerik:EditorModule Name="RadEditorHtmlInspector" />
    </Modules>
</telerik:RadEditor>

<script type="text/javascript">
    Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.Modules.RadEditorHtmlInspector.prototype.set_visible = function (bVisible) {
        Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.Modules.RadEditorHtmlInspector.callBaseMethod(this, 'set_visible', [bVisible]);
    };
</script>

Because of this report and the shared experience I am updating your Telerik points.
