Bug: Safari: Loses Formatting

[spgard]

Using ​http://www.fckeditor.net/demo on a MacBook OS X v10.4.11 with Safari 3.1.2 (4625.22). Repeatable in the nightly build (as of 24 Apr 2009).

Steps to reproduce:

• Delete the default text in the demo.

• Type in "This is text." (not the quotes)

• Highlight the text and change it to X-Large font and give it a color.

• Switch to Source view and back to Design view (all is still good).

• Highlight "This is text." Change it to say something new.

• Switch to Source view (note the spans have been combined, the font changes from a point size to a pixel size, and the Apple-style-span class is added). Switch back to Design view. Color and size formatting is lost.

You can get this same effect of lost formatting when saving rather than switching between Source and Design view.

I'm afraid this is an intrinsic WebKit "feature", which we would be hardly able to workaround. We need to report it at the WebKit bugzilla.

I can't reproduce it in 4.0.1

They might have fixed it long ago, so it's not worth filing to WebKit if that's the case.

Thanks for the update on this Alfonso. It's good to hear that WebKit got fixed. We'll not do further investigations.
