Paste on a newly created ckeditor instance does not work on chrome

[Alessandro Polverini]

Steps to reproduce:

• open a page where CK is instantiated
• click in edit area
• paste some text

What happens on Firefox: the pasted text appears in the editor What happens on Chrome: the caret disappears and no text is entered in the editor

[Alessandro Polverini]

After a bit of testing I discovered that the problem arise only when CK is istantiated with those options:

CKEDITOR.replace( 'area',{
 autoParagraph : false,
 enterMode : CKEDITOR.ENTER_BR
 });

Reproducible from CKEditor 3.6.3 rev. [7383]

Just insert one or both of the below:

config.autoParagraph = false;
config.enterMode = CKEDITOR.ENTER_BR;

I have created a test program at: ​http://www.adreflex.com/test/testedit.cfm

that illustrates the problem.

I have set: config.enterMode = CKEDITOR.ENTER_P;

and the problem remains

@westcoastbc I have written

one or both of the below

what means that only one of those options can cause this problem.

Yes you have set config.enterMode = CKEDITOR.ENTER_P; but you have also set CKEDITOR.config.autoParagraph = false; which causes the problem.

Replying to garry.yao: How do I implement the above patch? I have added the code in 8921.patch to _source\plugins\clipboard\plugin.js but the problem remains.

[Jakub Ś]

And what CKEditor script are you using on your page ckeditor.js or ckeditor_source.js? Changes in _source will be only visible when using ckeditor_source.js but this is good only for development. In release code ckeditor.js should be use.

Proper flow to apply the patch is to get SVN version of CKEditor, apply patch build new release. Please see comment from ​http://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/8477#comment:3 and doc file from ​http://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/8477#comment:4.

I've moved the review request to #9042 instead.
