Telerik RadEditor error while formating big selection

[Gabriel]

Hello.

If i have a simple table, and i select the table and some other stuff and click BOLD, all element tags get wrapped by a <strong> tag, not only text (for instance tfoot, thead etc are all wrapped with <strong>. Is there any configuration to this ?

Would apreciate any help.

Best regards.

Hello Gabriel,

I tried to repro the problem in the Overview demo but without success. Are you able to reproduce the problem in the live demo and if yes how? If no, please upgrade to the latest version R1 2018 and test again.

For your convenience I have recorded my test and attached the video.

Hi Rumen

I cannot reproduce the problem in demo, because demo tables do not have <colgroup> tag.

If i edit editor html and add a <colgroup> before a <thead> it wraps the <colgroup> with the <strong> tag causing the issue.

Is there a workaround this ? Would overriding isBlockElement function to include colgroup be a good idea ? How would be a good way doing that ?

Thanks lot for your help.

Hello,

I was able to replicate the problem and my advice is to select the Table using the X-like select table button on top left of the table instead of using the mouse to prevent the issue or to overwrite the Bold command as shown below:

<telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1" runat="server" OnClientCommandExecuting="OnClientCommandExecuting">
</telerik:RadEditor>
<script type="text/javascript">
    function OnClientCommandExecuting(editor, args) {
        if (args.get_commandName() == "Bold") {
            editor.get_document().execCommand("Bold");
            args.set_cancel(true);
        }
    }
</script>

Disabling the mouse selection is not an option for now.

Some workaround is

Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.Utils.isBlockElement = function (element) {
   return this.checkForElement(element, /^(?:body|p|div|h[1-6]|form|colgroup|fieldset|table|thead|tbody|tr|th|td|ul|ol|li|dl|blockquote|address|hr|nav|hgroup)$/i);
};

 

Not the best option i guess but it works. If theres an easyer way instead of `setting` the regex for the blocktags, adding a new blocktag, that would be wonderfull.
