As designed Rich Editor & Simple Editor Content Issue

[yavuz]

Hi,

I have recenly changed my forum to XenForo from vBulletin and have this little problem.

When I use the center BB Code wrap the thread content with it, to center all the thread content, it adds hundreds of center BB Codes to every line when I change back to the simple editor. Maybe the screenshots would better explain

This is my original code. Just used one Center TAG:

This is when I swich to the rich editor and switch back to the simple editor:

Hope this is not what is supposed to be because it adds hundrets of junk code which messes the thread content up.

This is a known issue and has been discussed on several threads.
I'm not sure if it has been posted in bug reports before, I'll see if I can find an earlier thread.

I suspect though that it is due to line breaks, which results in the BB Code being applied to each separate line.

I wasn't aware Brogan. I've looked under bugs but couldn't find one.
Thank You.

That's not strictly a bug - the exact code used by the WYSIWYG editor will not necessarily match hand-written code, though the goal is to be visually the same.

If you look at the HTML that a lot of browsers generate in rich text editors, you will see it reflects a centering of each line (paragraph).

I didn't have this issue with vb's editor when I swiched the editors. Because of that I thought this was some kind of a bug. But this is really "bugging" me and my members a lot. It would be much easier If only the code would remain as it was...

As far as I know, vB doesn't use a WYSIWYG editor.

It is a plain text editor with BB Code buttons.

It does, however it doesn't work with Chrome and Safari iirc.

That's true. It works with IE and firefox and with the latest version of Chrome but didn't until recently. I hope this can be fixed but seems the the developers are ok with the way it it is now.

It uses contentEditable, which has limited browser support. Personally I would like XenForo to use it too.
