#8345 closed Bug (fixed)

IE : Cursor goes to start of editor body when we bring up link dialog using Link tool bar icon & closing Link dialog using OK Button

Reported by: Satya Minnekanti Owned by: Garry Yao
Priority: Normal Milestone: CKEditor 3.6.3
Component: Core : Selection Version: 3.5.3
Keywords: IBM IE Cc: Damian, Teresa Monahan

Description

To reproduce the defect:

  1. Open any CK Editor sample and insert a link.
  1. Keep cursor inside the link and click on Link icon in the toolbar.
  1. See that Link dialog comes up
  1. Don't change any values, Close the Link dialog by clicking OK Button.

Expected Result: Link dialog is closed and Link gets selected.

Actual Result: Link dialog is closed but cursor going to start of editor body. This will cause huge inconvenience to users if they want to edit a document with huge content in it.

I'd like to find a shortcut workaround for this issue, while it doesn't looks simple, so a bit of drastic change is proposed here, to coordinate the locked selection feature and saved range workaround in IE. The following tickets must be considered when reviewing:

Milestone: CKEditor 3.6.2

Considering that this is not a recent regressions and that the patch proposes a very drastic change, we'll not be able to accommodate this fix into the 3.6.2.

A basic test for this issue has been created at t/8345:
http://ckeditor.t/tt/8345/1.html

Further tests are needed though for all related tickets.

Dt updated to include cursor position check after link creation which should be tackled by this ticket as well.

I'm not able anymore to properly patch the current trunk. Can you please provide an updated patch for it?

I have simplified the patch, the previous patch is over ambitious for this issue, here the real culprit is that link dialog has somehow touched the dom node so the native range restoring failed to work and since it cancel the locked selection as well, the result cursor is all the way wrong, in addition the patch also addresses the following TC:

  1. Load default replacebyclass sample;
  2. Put cursor in the middle of the link and open Link dialog;
  3. Close the dialog with OK button;
  • Actual Result: Cursor position remains;
  • Expected : Selection expands to have the entire link selected.

Let me claim that this issue doesn't affect v4, where we have a different strategy to have locked selection, so it's enough to have the patch v3 dedicated.

Please have the original "Update locked selection because of the normalized text nodes" comment back in place when committing, because it makes it easier to understand the hack being done there.

It's a pity that the ticket tc didn't get reviewed, but it's not been normalized in all browsers, so its not a regression.
