XF 1.3 Richt-Text-Editor is blank on large Posts

[wedge1001]

Hello,
i'm having a problem with larger posts.
Whenever i try to edit a large post, the editor will stay blank. A switch to the BB-Code editor won't work.
the only way it's working is if i have disabled the richt-text editor on my settings.
For me, the bb-code editor is enough, bot nor for my members.

I've already googled, used the search, tried different proposals here.
none of them have worked.

on my machine i don't get any errors in my logs.
neither nginx nore php

i'm using nginx and php-fpm on a debian machine.

Any idea and/or help?

Thank you

How large? How many characters and is there a lot of BB code?

And you tagged this as 1.3, but can you confirm the specific version?

Hi,
sorry for the late reply.

at the moment we are running 1.3.1 (i haven't had time to update it yet)

The Post has a huge amount of BB-Codes
it has 850 Lines and each line has at least one opening and closing bb-code.
It has a total of 52099 Characters (including bb-codes and blank lines)

so.
i've updated to the 1.3.3 the newest version i've found in the members area.
still the "error" is the same.

That is a fairly long post. There may be limited amounts I can do as it stands as this is often down to some server limits (stack size, I believe) I have already changed this code several times to attempt to optimize it.

Can you attach the raw BB code version of the post here?

 

[wedge1001]

Of course.

i've set my stack-limit from 8MB to 32MB. Still no luck.

I removed the attachment because of the content in it.

Few questions:
- OS?
- PHP version? (admin.php?tools/phpinfo)
- Value for the pcre.backtrack_limit setting in PHP (see phpinfo)
- Value for the pcre.recursion_limit setting

It's likely the backtrack or recursion limit, though I handled this post with 29000 and 11000, respectively; these values are significantly decreased from the default (1000000 / 100000).

no problem. Though s.th. like this.

Few questions:
- OS?

Debian 7.5
Kernel-Version 3.2.0-4-amd64
-> Linux <myname> 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.57-3+deb7u1 x86_64

- PHP version? (admin.php?tools/phpinfo)

Version 5.5.12-1~dotdeb.1
working as php-fpm

- Value for the pcre.backtrack_limit setting in PHP (see phpinfo)

-local limit: 10000000
-master value: 10000000

- Value for the pcre.recursion_limit setting

-local limit: 10000
-master value: 10000

Thanks for your help

Right, it's very likely the pcre.recursion_limit setting. Apparently the PHP default here is actually 100000. I would recommend increasing that to at least something like 20000.

 

[wedge1001]

Hell yes!
if set my recursion-limit to 30k and it works!
thank you for your help!
