It is possible to remove/change editor contents in readonly mode

[Jakub Ś]

Issue reported on our support channel.

I have a use case where CKEditor is opened in readonly based on user’s privilege however I am able to merge paragraphs or delete content even when readonly is set to true.

1. In first case I select two paragraphs and press delete key. The selected content gets deleted.

2. In second case I try to place cursor at start of second paragraph and press backspace. The paragraphs get merged.

Let me know if there is any workaround to fix it.

I guess it's one of the fixes for #9998. It should check if the editor is in readonly mode and I guess it doesn't.

• Tests are missing (only automated ones in this case - tests/editable/keystrokes/delbackspacequirks/*.
• Your branch is anchored to some old commit. It should diverge from master.

Added tests.

Fixed on master with ​git:e857553.

I made two changes:

• Made sure that read-only mode is disabled when a test fail.
• Added a manual test, because I realised that I'm not 100% sure that we fixed the reported TC :D. There could be some other listener somewhere which might be changing the content.
