Pasting in Chrome causes all fonts to change to default browser font.

[Mark Kucera]

This problem seems to happen only in Chrome.  If you copy text and paste it into the RadEditor (from notepad, so no formatting is applied), the font of the text that is pasted and all other text in the editor is changed to Chrome's default font (whatever that happens to be).  I actually have a short video that demonstrates the issue that was put together by one of our users who reported the issue.   In this case the default font is Times New Roman, size 3 and you can see that when the content is pasted all the fonts in the entire editor are affected.  I changed my default font to "Stencil" in Chrome and was able to reproduce the same thing.  The interesting thing to note is that if you use the RadEditor's Paste toolbar items it seems to work fine.  again this is only an issue in Chrome.  Do you have any suggestions for fixing this issue?  I'm using Telerik.Web.UI.dll version 2011.1.315.35.

Thanks!

Hi Mark,

We tried to reproduce the problem demonstrated in the video on our end but without any success. Is it possible to open a support ticket and provide the initial HTML content loaded in RadEditor as well as the notepad plain text content file? Are you able to reproduce the problem using the attached editable iframe HTML file?

Please, also verify that the problem is reproducible in the Default Example of RadEditor in a freshly installed Chrome 12.0.742 (please make sure that there are not installed any add-ons, browser skins and CSS customizations.

Kind regards,
Rumen

Ok, i was able to reproduce this problem on the Default Example RadEditor.  But i did find a new caveat.  The problem only appears when the text being pasted in contains a line break.  If i just paste in content one sentence or paragraph at a time it works fine. any text with a line break will cause the editor to break.  Please review my screenshots that i made using the default example RadEditor and the sample HTML is shown below.

Hello Mark,

I am not sure what your browser settings and add-ons are, but we are still unable to reproduce this behavior on our end. Here is a video from my experiment: http://screencast.com/t/uDBQKoeLS. As you can see the change in the default font is applied, then I put your content in, tried pasting, typed, yet the formatting was correct. I am using the latest version with no add-ons and the only modification I made to the default settings was the default font (during the video).

Are you able to reproduce this only on your browser or on other computers as well? Do they have some custom setting in common that differentiates them from others that do not reproduce it?

In case this is not an isolated case on a single computer I would suggest is that you open a support ticket and send us a simple, runnable project, that isolates this case so we can investigate your editor setting and the content you put in with them.


Best wishes,
Marin
