sourceArea has right margin

[Paul Moers]

In source view, the content area has a right margin

[Kaare Byberg]

This is reported as Opera bug 262091. Setting padding on the textarea shrinks it.

Hallvord, do you still confirm it?

It seams there is no margin with build 9494. There is instead another issue: the scrollbar for the source textarea is out of the editor, cropped at the right, becoming just partially visible.

It's the same issue - if you remove padding on TEXTAREA it works fine. A small demo on sample01 would be:

javascript:void( FCKeditor1_Frame.document.getElementsByTagName('textarea')[0].style.padding='0px' );

The textarea padding is set at fck_editor.css​ , for the ".Source" class. It is used to give a small space (5px) between the text and the textarea borders. If is working well with FF, IE and Safari.

It would be ok to not have that margin, impacting the poor Opera users only. Is there any CSS trick suggestion to hide that entry to Opera, or it must be really done by code?

This one is causing a terrible user experience.

How about this:

There's a little JavaScript involved, but I can see it being very useful in many other cases.

I'm happy to say that the first Opera Beta (build 9608) seams to have completely fixed this issue!
