Steps to reproduce

CKEditor is showing body and first block element and its contents.

In this case the elements path is showing "body h1 img". With a sample text CKEditor will show "body p". With the code below:

<div>
	<div>
		<p>
			<span>test</span></p>
	</div>
</div>

it will show "body div div p span"

It has been working that way in all browsers from CKEditor 3.0.

That's by design.

Rational:

  • CKEditor is context sensitive to the the start boundary of the selection.
  • Once we click on "body", the selection start is placed right next to the image.
  • CKEditor sees selection next to <img> as an <img> selection, thus considering the image as the start boundary of the selection.

To discuss:

  1. Is there anything wrong on the above rational?
  2. What's the expected behavior, which is not described by the reporter?

I think I can answer that.

The reporter's argument (and others with whom I have consulted) here was that elements path should only show body so as to not confuse the user.

Personally I haven't seen this as a bug - but having two against one would be unwise not to confirm it.

I see it hard to change, if we take the selection code fixing road.

But, we could tweak the elements path plugin, making it stick with the last clicked element until a selection change is not performed. It would be a simpler solution.
