fck & updatepanel: ie6/7 crash after postback if an image or a table is selected

[orsinil]

I have create an application with fckeditor inside an updatepanel. If inside the editor I insert an image and then select it by clicking on it, doing a postback ie6 and ie7 crashes. The same is also for a table; you can reproduce the problem using the attached project.

Could you please give us more information about what is the nature of the "crash"? Does the editor throw a JavaSrcipt error? I've tested your page and IE didn't throw any error.

I have the same problem: unhandled exception in browser if I make postback from update panel with selected image in editor (ie6).

Hi there,

I am also experiencing the same behaviour as described above. Using IE7.

When f.e. nothing is selected, or some text is selected, everything works as designed. When an image or a table is selected, displaying the sizing handles, IE crashes without giving an error. After that Vista closes down the IE7 instance, leaving no chance for debugging the situation.

I also tested it with the flv viewer plugin, which also causes a crash when the situation of selecting the object and saving is reproduced.

Is there a possibility it has something to do with the sizing handles?

Proposed patch

After trying to get a minimal testcase I went to the straight route and it seems to work. During the IE cleanup is just enough to make sure that the selection is cleared and now it no longer crashes for me.

Please, anyone that has this problem, apply this patch to test if it works for you.
