[IE] Dialog boxes in IE6 function only once

[Anders Bjerkholt]

Installed both 2.6 stable and latest nightly build. I have problems with IE6. IE7 and Firefox works fine.

In IE6 the dialogboxes for copy text, links etc only works the first time. Second time (or any time later) I only get a grey box with no form fields or buttons. It doesn't matter witch one I click first. After the first time for any box, none of the boxes works.

There is one exception. The dialog box for insert image works.

[Anders Bjerkholt]

I was wrong. The dialog box for images doesn't work. There is one thing though, insert link doesn't work when I get it on screen, but I get the tabs, and when I click one of the tabs, the content in dialogbox appear, but de form input fields has wrong size. But they work.

I've tried to reproduce your bug both using IE6 and IE7 and everything seems to work fine. Can you reproduce the problem on our demo page: ​http://www.fckeditor.net/demo ?

Let us know what are your results. Thanks.

[Wojciech Olchawa]

Ignore my previous post. I forgot to check twice.

Confirmed using IE6. A major BUG.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to our demo page ​http://www.fckeditor.net/demo

2. Highlight "some"

3. Click the "Inesert Link" button. Everything OK for now.

4. Close the window withou inserting the link

5. Click "Insert Link" again

6. The dialog field is greyed. If you click on the tab option will reappear.

It works much better on the demo page than on my install. I don't use standard directories. But I didn't think that should have anything to say as it works fine in IE7 and Firefox

Any chance a patch could be released for this before 2.6.1 is released - this is really a blocker ?

[Martin Kou]

Funny, it seems to always work on my computers? :|

Is there any trick to make it easier to reproduce the bug?

[Martin Kou]

I've done some more testing today, and I still can't reproduce the bug no matter how many times I opened and closed the dialog.

I've got a friend who said he could easily reproduce the bug though, so the bug is definitely there but it doesn't seem to affect all IE6 installations.

I'm now suspecting the bug occurs only in some IE6 versions.

My test platforms (no bug occurrence): 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.070227-2554 (C2D E6400/WinXP in VMWare Fusion) 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_qfe.070227-2300 (A64 3200+/Native WinXP) MultipleIE IE6 (MBP 2.2GHz/WinXP in VMWare Fusion)

My friend's test machine (buggy): 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158 (Unknown hardware/Native WinXP)

I can reproduce the bug now, but only when I opened IE via WinXP Remote Desktop Connection.

It's really strange, if I opened IE6 in VMWare Fusion or with a native LCD screen, I can click the Link button all day and not see the bug once. But opening IE via a Remote Desktop window I can get the bug to occur every time.

[Martin Kou]

Hmm, even with remote desktop I can still only reproduce the problem on the www.fckeditor.net site, but not in my local installation. This is not really useful for debugging... I still need to find a way to reproduce the issue on a modifiable code package.

#2132 has been marked as DUP

you can find some screenshots of the bug in #2132 if needed

[Anders Bjerkholt]

To test, I have 2 similar implementations.

One, which works okay in IE6, - we are unable to replicate the bug here: ​http://demo309.skoleveven.no/skoleveven/fckeditor.php

One, which replicates the bug every time in IE6, but we don't see why: Log in with username/password: test/test here: ​http://demo309.skoleveven.no/skoleveven/

[Martin Kou]

I've written a patch which seems to fix the problem.

[Anders Bjerkholt]

I've also the patch and looks like the bug is fixed. So far we haven't been able to reproduce the bug anymore.

[Alfonso Martínez de Lizarrondo]

I haven't tested it as it seems to require a quite specific configuration, but I guess that if both of you say that it's working then I can give it a review+

[Martin Kou]

Fixed with [1945].
