Pasting unstyled text in Inline mode using Chrome

[Tobias Hößl]

There seems to be a problem with pasting raw text having multiple lines into an inline editor when using Google Chrome (28). The content is inserted, but is invisible and not editable. For example, when I paste

Line 1
Line 2

as raw text into the "Inline Editing by Code" sample of the current Major head (I've installed it at ​http://animexx.onlinewelten.com/ckeditor-test/samples/inlinebycode.html), the following HTML code is inserted:

<div id="cke_pastebin" style="position: absolute; top: -231px; width: 1px; height: 944px; overflow: hidden; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; left: -1000px;" class="cke_editable">Line 1</div> <div id="cke_pastebin" style="position: absolute; top: -231px; width: 1px; height: 944px; overflow: hidden; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; left: -1000px;" class="cke_editable">Line 2</div>

The problem does not appear when copy/pasting from a website or an word processing program like Word/Openoffice or when only a single line of text is pasted.

I forgot to mention: this is not new to 4.2 - I also experienced similar behavior in 4.1.2.

Argh... another bug in Chrome ;|

Each line of text is pasted with those attributes:

<div id="cke_pastebin" style="position: absolute; top: -246px; width: 1px; height: 651px; overflow: hidden; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; left: -1000px;" class="cke_editable">line 2</div>

These attributes (even ID!) are inherited from a pastebin (container into which pasting happens).

Let's hope that it will be fixed soon, because the patch on our side may be very hard to create.

I've pushed a "research" fix to t/10644 @cksource.

I'm simply using the body element for the pastebin, instead of div. This fixes the pasting, but it makes the inline editor toolbar to "jump" on paste.

We may now try to figure out what to do with this side-effect. Hopefully there is a simple way for it.

I pushed one more commit, bringing back the code choosing offsetParent for the pastebin. Everything seems to be fine now.
