CKeditor area takes full size to acomodate large text

[nicolasdiogo]

Hi,

i have used this module for a couple of weeks and it has worked fine. when editing pages content it behaves as expected just as well when working with small articles.

but i have come across this behaviour when the text area takes the decision to increase its size to accommodate the text within. i had two articles that i created that had long-ish number of lines (not so much text or word count), and the text area would change its size every time i click on the text area. Please note that i made no attempt to change its size (by clicking on the right lower corner)

this problem occurs with firefox 6 AND chromium 13.0.782.215 on ubuntu 11.04 amd64

when i do try to resize before clicking in the text are i can only define it to diminish its wideness. and the mouse gets 'stuck' - i can click-and-hold but when i release the mouse click the text area still follows the mouse pointer.

However, the same browsers work perfectly well when the text inside is of a smaller 'volume'/'length'.

i have tried to find this problem on the forums but nothing there and due to the nature i though it might be categorised as a bug. my apologies if this is not the case.

i am using drupal and installed it using the WYSIWYG module

with regards,

Nicolas

First of all, you think it would be possible to provide us with this content that is causing autogrow to happen?

but i have come across this behavior when the text area takes the decision to increase its size to accommodate the text within.

I assume that you haven't used autogrow plugin in this case because "resize handle" is visible in lower right corner but I would like you to confirm.

when i do try to resize before clicking in the text are i can only define it to diminish its wideness. and the mouse gets 'stuck'

Currently I'm not able to reproduce that part. Could provide us with a detailed step by step scenario showing how to reproduce the probllem?

i am using drupal and installed it using the WYSIWYG module

Could you tell us which version of drupal are you using?

Additionally could you check is the issue reproducible in plain CKEditor or only in module for drupal? You can chek it here: ​http://ckeditor.com/demo or download standalone CKEditor JS from here:http://ckeditor.com/download. This second option will allow you to configure CKEditor just like you did in your webapp.

thanks for the response

unfortunately i was unaware that there was an auto-grow plug-in loaded - which is responsible for the behaviour.

sorry for the misunderstanding.

Thank you for the response. ould you tell me one more thing?

And what about this stuck cursor, can it be easily reproduced and if so in which browser?
