Floating Popup problem with v2.6 beta

[Dan Sutton]

This is a subtle bug, and has to do with the new floating popup dialogs for FCKeditor 2.6 beta; it's an easy one to miss, so I thought I'd tell you about it.

If a page contains its own floating windows, implemented in hidden DIVs with position=absolute, and one of these floating windows contains an IFRAME with an FCKeditor in it, then the FCKeditor popups can appear behind the site's ones. This doesn't happen with your right-click menus, though (they work perfectly)... I assume both are bound to the top-level page, and imagine therefore that it's a simple zIndex problem.

I've created an ID for you on my development site, should you wish to check out the problem. Here's the login information:

URL: ​http://opwernby.com:7003 User ID: info@… Password: fck$12

Steps to replicate the problem:

1. Log into the site;
2. Go to "Files"; you will see one file sitting there;
3. Hit the "Edit" icon for the file (it's the one that looks like a notepad);
4. Right-click on the numbered list in the file, and select "Numbered List Properties";
5. The FCKeditor popup has appeared, but behind my window, so you can't see it. Close mine, and you'll see it. Try to close yours, and it won't work because the parent javascript is gone by that time (my IFRAME has been reallocated to some other purpose).

I've tested this in Internet Explorer 7, and in Firefox (latest version, whatever that is) for the PC.

Lastly, I just want to say thanks for this editor; it's saved me many times; and to apologise for the state of my site, which is a work in progress... hmmm...

You can set the z-index of the floating dialogs by modifying FCKConfig.FloatingPanelsZIndex in fckconfig.js or by setting the same named configuration attribute in the FCKeditor object.
