All menu auto closes

[Himanshu Negi]

Hi, Am using latest version of Ck Editor. Currently am facing problem on IE8, Rest Chrome and Firefox are working fine. I am using j query dialogue to open pop up.

The ck Editor opens up fine and working great as expected. The only problem i get is when i click on buttons that have a drop down menu like color, styles, font etc. They open up for a second and close on their own.

Please don`t confuse it with the Z Index problem as i am able to see the menu for a split sec. Also other items like link, file upload are working fine. These have their own dialogue pop up

Sorry for the bad explainnation

Please provide reduced sample HTML page showing this problem.

1. Are you using modal popup?
2. Which version of jQuery you use?

I believe this is jQuery issue. Please have a look at two below tickets - ​http://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/10269

Does using older version or workarounds solve your problem?

Sorry for the delay. Was on week end.

1)Yes we are using Modal Pop up 2)We are currently using 'jquery-1.9.1.js' and 'jquery-ui-1.10.2.min.js'

Facing this issue on IE8. Working fine on firefox and chrome

Will have a look at the links and update.

YES it was Jquery UI problem. I switched back to 1.9.2 and everyting seems working fine ! Thanks for the help guys !

I tend to confirm this ticket so that users could know that we have such issue with jQuery.

I'm however a little bit concerned about dropdowns in modal dialogs. It seems we have few such tickets:

1. ​http://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/8137
2. ​http://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/9934
3. ​http://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/10269

Perhaps there something CKEditor can do with this issue as there seem to be more than one framework/libray causing same error in editor by perhaps using same approach for modal dialogs.

NOTE: this issue can be reproduced in all versions of IE (IE11 throws extra JS errors when using modal dialog and CKE). I'm attaching sample code.
