Preformatted text in RadEditor in FireFox

[Brandon Worrell]

We're having issues with preformatted text in the RadEditor when using FireFox 2.0. We're using the RadEditor for a documentation site where we need to display source code (C#, xml markup, etc). We're trying to use the <pre> tags to format this code. When we wrap content in <pre> tags and switch between design and code views in FireFox, <br /> tags are added where line breaks used to be. In other words:

<pre>asdfasfd
asdfasfd
asfdasfd</pre>

gets changed to this:

<pre>asdfasfd <br />
asdfasfd<br />
asfdasfd</pre>

The same thing happens if we designate another tag, like <code> and give it a white-space:pre; style in the CSS stylesheet. The editor seems to recognize the preformatted style that's been applied and inserts the <br /> tags.

We do not seem to experience this behavior in IE7.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Brandon,

Thank you for pointing out this behavior.

This looks like a browser problem, because it does not appear in IE. I logged the issue in our bug tracking system for further research and we will try to override this Firefox browser behavior.

We do appreciate your feedback and we updated your Telerik points.


Kind regards,

I have version 2010.02.0929.35 and am still seeing this error with FireFox. Is it fixed in a later version? or is it in the queue to get fixed?

thanks,

kristian

Hello Kristian,

I tried to reproduce the problem in the Default Example of RadEditor but without success. You can see a video demonstrating my test at: http://screencast.com/t/HdH2bR5vxvZA.

Are you able to reproduce it in the demo which runs the latest Q3 2010 SP2 version of RadEditor? If so can you please provide steps to reproduce it in the latest Firefox version.

Best regards,
Rumen
