[IE6] setData problem with custom plugin

Reported by: Damian Owned by:
Priority: Normal Milestone: CKEditor 3.1

Description

A simple plugin calling setData() on the editor in the exec() method falls over in IE6.

The plugin is invoked by a command on the toolbar.

Plugin exec() definition:

CKEDITOR.plugins.simplePlugin=
{
  exec:function(editor){
    editor.setData('<b>test</b>');			
  }
};

When using a Microsoft debugger the error thrown is:
Error: 'this.$.innerHtml' is null or not an object.
Line 331 in element.js

I've traced this down to what I think is the call to getSnapshotData() in the wysiwygarea which ultimately calls getHtml() on the element, after setting the data.

Only an issue with IE6.

I don't have the bug with the setData call in 'api' sample file, could you provide a reduced plugin for reproducing?

Here is the full plugin.js file, which resides in "plugins/testsetdata":

CKEDITOR.plugins.add( 'testsetdata',
{
	init : function( editor )
	{
		editor.addCommand( 'testsetdata', CKEDITOR.plugins.testsetdata );
		editor.ui.addButton( 'testsetdata',
			{
				label : 'TestSetData',
				command : 'testsetdata'
			});
	}
} );

CKEDITOR.plugins.testsetdata =
{
	exec:function(editor){
		editor.setData('<b>Test</b>');
	}
};

And here is the config.js

	config.extraPlugins='testsetdata';
	config.toolbar=[[ 'Source', '-', 'Bold', 'Italic','testsetdata' ]];

Those are the only changes to a default build.

It's not a bug, coz 'editor.setData' should be declared as a 'asynchronous' command and you need to manually fire the after command event:

editor.addCommand('testsetdata',
{
	async : true,
	exec : function( editor )
	{
		var command = this;
		editor.setData( '<b>Test</b>', function()
		{
			editor.fire( 'afterCommandExec',
			{
				name: 'testsetdata',
				command: command
			} );
		});
	}
});

Sorry for the obscure but we should document this special case very soon.
