[Chrome] Trying to insert a block before a block widget fails with an error

[Piotrek Koszuliński]

Steps to reproduce

1. ​http://jsfiddle.net/HugeHugh/3xu8yece/
2. Try to insert the horizontal line without focusing the editor first.

Expected result

It's inserted before the widget.

Actual result

An error is thrown.

Other details (browser, OS, CKEditor version, installed plugins)

I could not reproduce this issue on Firefox, so I guess it's related to Chrome's limited selection system which does not allow us to place selection before a non-editable block if it's the first descendant of the editable.

Let's see if we can solve it in 4.5.6.

The previous method of ensuring that a range to which the element should've been inserted existed was not robust enough. Fixed that by creating a range when none is available.

Changes pushed to ​branch:t/13778.

Greetings. I'm unsure how to test the code change. When I go to the referenced branch on Github (t/13778) I see there was a change made. However, I use a pre-packaged build of CKEditor that was created by your website, and I'm not sure how to bring this change into my build of CKEditor that I configured on your website.

Here's the direct link to my build config: ​http://ckeditor.com/builder/544a1d22c6dfe8e23af36b1eee82633d

I just need some help to get the bug fix from this ticket into my build so that our app will begin functioning correctly. We've been waiting for this to be fixed since I first reported it 9/16/2015. Thanks so much for your help!

Moving tickets to the next milestone.

[Marek Lewandowski]

Moving to 4.6.2 minor release, as 4.6.1 is mostly about polishing 4.6.0.

[Marek Lewandowski]

Moving to the nice to have list.
