The ticket title is wrong, should be: CKEditor instance is NOT properly released on destroy

Hey. Thanks for a very detailed bug report, but unfortunately it does not fulfill one of the very important bug report's requirements - it's not easy to reproduce, because it's not a simplified scenario. I'm really sorry, but we can't spend time reading such long documents, which additionally requires from us debugging some external application.

Besides, the error that you got should have nothing to do with releasing CKEditor instance. It means that CKEditor could not find an element in the DOM for the instance being created. So check whether you use correct IDs.

I'm leaving this ticket open, so please, let us know if you could solve this problem or have a simpler scenario.

I will just add that getEditor method is called when inline editor is created.

Are you using inline editor on "Page 2" ? If yes, is textarea present on page or you insert it dynamically perhaps after editor script has been imported and inline method activated?

If that is the case, you should have textarea present when on your HTML page.

You are right, the textarea control has been destroyed (i still don't know why, probably something to do with angular) but it has nothing to do with CKEditor! So this is NOT a CKEditor bug :)

Thank you very much for your help!!
