Description

In IE6 ...

When WYMeditor is instantiated inside a simple table, the iframe scroll bars blink/dance when the mouse is moved from the surrounding box over the iframe edge.

Furthermore if enough content is entered and the iframe has to scroll, and the user scrolls to the bottom of the content, then selects content in order to bold or italicise it, when they move the mouse out of the iframe towards the toolbar button, the iframe scrolls back to the top meaning the user loses all context and must scroll down again.

I have a test case here:

http://devel.webutils.vicnet.net.au/wymtest/index.cgi

The test case is almost identical to the 01-basic.html file that was released with version 0.4 as an example.

I've also created a video of the symtoms here:

http://devel.webutils.vicnet.net.au/wymtest/IE6-table-blinkDanceScroll.avi

The test case is using version jQuery packed version 1.2.1

Thanks pd

  • status changed from new to assigned.

Due to an IE6 bug, perhaps related to the default skin CSS. Doesn't occur with minimal skin - see test page 'inside-table.html' (r504).
