IE - Editor Focus (Bug)

[Nick]

When using IE (tested in version 7-10) you must click on the first empty line for the editor to gain focus.  FireFox and Chrome do not exhibit this behavior with the Editor control.

Example:  While using Firefox or Chrome you can click anywhere inside the Editor box and it will gain focus (The mouse cursor changes to an I-Beam anywhere in the Editor window).  In Internet Explore you will only gain the I-Beam cursor when you are hovering over areas where text exists.

This behavior is easily replicated by dropping a default Editor control onto a page.  the behavior can been seen on the demo site even: http://demos.kendoui.com/web/editor/index.html

Hello Nick,

You are right, we will fix this. In the meantime, you can apply the following styles to the Editor's content area via an Editor stylesheet.

html,
body
{
      height: 100%;
      min-height: 100%;
}

All the best,

hi,

Has this been resolved in the latest internal build? Or do we still have to use external style?

Thanks

Yes, it has.

hi Dimo,

we have downloaded version 2012.2.911 and still the problem seems to occur in IE9.
Is this the correct latest internal build?

[Dimo]

Hello Michalis,

As seen by the forum post dates, the issue has been discussed on September 14-17. The internal build that you have is from September 11 (911). So it cannot contain the fix. Please try a newer one.

hi Dimo,

Thanks for the reply. I'm a little bit confused with the internal builds and with how exactly to acquire them. What we need is kendo.web.js and its minified version (kendo.web.min.js), as well as all themes and style files for web. Which exact components should I download?

thanx in advance

Hi Michalis,

Internal builds can be downloaded from your account:

http://www.telerik.com/account/default.aspx

> Manage Products > DevCraft Complete > Latest Internal Build >

http://www.telerik.com/account/your-products/internal-builds.aspx

Of course, using all CSS and JS files from the same version is required.

We are currently using: MVC Q3 2012

We have been seeing the same behavior when the editor is part of partial, injected content.

If you hit the focus/I-Beam issue then this work around is still relevant and the issue has not been fixed for IE in all circumstances.
You can reproduce the issue by:

1. Create a aspx page
2. Create an ajax call that returns a partial ascx containing an editor
3. Browse the page in IE and the issue will present itself

Hi Matt,

The discussed fix for the old MVC Editor will be included in the Q1 2013 release.
