I was hoping that the editor in 2008.1 would finally be fixed, especially since some things are pretty simple. I shouldn't have to modify my CSS in order to get the "expected behavior" from the controls. The editor is definitely the most difficult to work with in this regard.

These controls shouldn't be making any assumptions about the state of CSS that is cascading down to them and override everything that might affect the appearance.

1. If you have CSS that does any manipulation of UL and LI attributes, you might find that your toolbar items have additional spaces between the items. The fix is simple (below).

ul.rade_toolbar li
{
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}

2. A second issue occurs when you have a table nested in the editor. Although the rest of the text in the editor inherits the font and size from the surrounding page, as soon as that text is placed inside a table, it gets larger. Again, a CSS fix has been provided, but there must be some other workaround (in a subsequent update) that wouldn't require me to do this:

table td
{
   font-size: 11px !important;
   font-family: Arial !important;
}

Don't get me wrong. I love these controls, but these minor things really get under my skin sometimes! :-)
