Automatic insertion of <br /> in Firefox when using enterMode = BR;

[sushniak]

In Firefox (I'm using 3.5.7, but other people from cksource forum say that in version 2.0 and 3.0 happens the same) in empty ckeditor window, in all versions starting from 3.0 to 3.1, while using config.enterMode = CKEDITOR.ENTER_BR;, is being inserted <br /> at the start of the document and when starting to type - you do it from a second line already.

In the other browsers (I've checked in all IE- 6,7,8, Opera, Chrome, Safari) it seems to be OK.

Sorry, but it still does. I've checked on 3.2 version 5205 build. Firefox 3.6

Related #5341 ?

[sushniak]

​http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/5341 That one has resolved the problem

[Garry Yao]

This's a regression brought by [3816], actually the original solution at #3864 should be re-proposed due to the following factors:

1. Recent dialog change from [5140] has broken the current solution which is trying to fix the problem on 'focus' of document (dialog open no longer cause editor to gain focus).
2. The selection is not been properly handled after the fix so problem reported at this ticket was happening.

[Garry Yao]

By confirming this particular FF ​bug only affects newly opened document, it should be safe to carry out the fix by time the editing frame is reloaded.

That doesn't fix the problem for me.

#5420 has been marked as dup

That doesn't fix the problem for me.

WFM in both FF2 and FF3, can you provide more details of the failure?

[Frederico Caldeira Knabben]

The patch fixed it for me also. Tested with FF3 and FF3.6.

[Garry Yao]

Fixed with [5389].

I've applied the patch, but it doesn't seem to resolve the problem. I have a page with multiple instances of CKeditor. Each instance is loaded by applying "class='ckeditor' to a textarea. In Firefox 3.6.3, a <br /> tag is written to each text area as soon as each editor is initialized. Obviously, if the values are then written to a database, the break tag gets written. there is no way to write an empty value.

I've confirmed that the problem doesn't happen in Chrome and as many others have pointed out in the forums, it doesn't appear to happen with IE either.

Please advise and and thanks in advance.

Please use our ​SVN trunk and ​latest nightly build to verify the status of bugs.

[tarek]

Bug confirmed, using latest nightly build. I used the sample at ​http://nightly.ckeditor.com/latest/ckeditor/_samples/replacebyclass.html and then did the following:

1. Cleared the contents using new page
2. Click and unclick the source button twice; click a third time to see the added <br /> tag.

Although there is no way of testing it, I suspect loading a page with an editor that is supposed to have no data will include the <br /> as well.

Bug confirmed on Mac FF (3.6.3) and PC FF (3.6.3). Bug does not appear in Chrome.

[Garry Yao]

Note that the bug you're reporting is a duplicate of #5293 for me, while the bug described by this ticket is an extra visual line introduced in wysiwyg mode, not related to the <br /> in output.

[tarek]

My apologies. I searched for that original ticket but couldn't find it and thought the two had merged. Thanks for replying.
