Unable to scroll Rich Editor Help on iPad

[miqrogroove]

When clicking the help button in the Editor, there is no way to scroll the help text :( Using a new iPad with iOS 6.

I can't find a help item with enough content to make it scroll. Which one(s) can you see which look like they should scroll?

Also, a two-finger swipe should scroll scrollable things within the page.

I did try two and three finger gestures. I'll put together a screen shot to attach here.

I can confirm the inability to scroll the Rich Editor help text on an iPad (IOS6).

Works for me on Android 4.0 Phone (Razr M) -- testing tablet shortly.

EDIT: The phone it works on is running WebKit/535.19 (as per the user-agent)

My Asus Transformer TF301T running Jelly Bean can scroll it just fine -- also on Webkit/535.19 -- can you confirm what version of webkit it is that's not working properly?

On IOS6 (iPad), I tested

• Chrome 21 (Webkit 534.46)
• Safari 6 (Webkit 536.26)

Drew -- did it work or not?

Drew -- did it work or not?

Nope, just as I said in comment:5 :)

Now that I look at my answers, I realize I had a complete thought over the span of two comments. Sorry for the confusion.

I tested on those two browsers, and no, neither of them can scroll Rich Text help on iPad/IOS6.

[miqrogroove]

No point in asking for feedback on a different platform here. Bug is valid for iPad.

[georgestephanis]

Sorry, I must be getting tickets confused, I could have sworn I saw a comment remarking that it was happening on Android tablets as well. Sorry about that.

Thanks for following up.

You were probably thinking of #22065 or #20614

This is a limitation in Safari on iOS. It doesn't scroll iframwes. Generally the iframe is expanded to its full height and scrolls with the parent, however that fails here too. Will see if we can change the markup so Safari expands the iframe properly.

I think the best way to fix this is to just eliminate the TinyMCE help dialogs and do our own lighter dialogs.

Replying to nacin:

Also in the next version (4.0) of TinyMCE the UI is completely rewritten. Closing as "maybelater" for now, if the problem persists in the new UI we can replace the help modal in 3.6.
