[pascal.herbert]

Tinymce 3.3 was released today

#11158 is still broken? Meh...

Is there anyone who's willing to take on merging TinyMCE? Or is this going to wait for the next release.

Azaozz is currently taking some time off due to illness, so I dont think he'll be working on it much..

I think this should wait for the next release. We're late going into beta, and shouldn't risk something like this breaking without Andrew on hand for immediate fixes. If someone wants to start working on it, it could go into 3.1 early.

[azaozz]

Agree with Jane. TinyMCE 3.3 came out a bit too late for inclusion in WordPress 3.0. It has some major changes and would require fixes to our custom plugins.

I had to ZIP the patch file as it was too big. Also included is wp-tinymce.js.gz.

This is a patch that applies TinyMCE v3.3.9.1 (3.3.9.2 was just released, so the patch will need refreshing).

Applying the patch seems to fix TinyMCE for IE9 (it's broken for IE9 in WP trunk), but the alignment buttons throw a Javascript error in all browsers. I have no idea why they aren't working. TinyMCE and Javascript aren't my strongest areas.

I'd appreciate it if someone else could take over for me. :)

Added TinyMCE 3.3.9.2, first run. Needs testing in all current browsers, mainly our custom plugins. See [15683].

(In [15684]) Properly align all buttons in the TinyMCE dialogs, see #12574

There are some usability issues with this on IE8 (non-compatibility-mode). This manifests when you have typed more than one boxes worth of text and the scroll bar comes into force. After that point, the scroll bar jumps back to the top of the text box on every further "enter" press or if you highlight some text and then move the mouse outside of the text area.

This problem is not new, it's previously existed as #10438 and #14749 but I was hoping that the tinymce update would fix it.

Switching to full screen seems ok, but that isn't an option in the HTML view.

FYI this (TinyMCE 3.3.9.2) has been deployed to wp.com

@azaozz: Shall we close this ticket for now since it's been a month and let someone re-open or start a new ticket if they hit any snags later on?

[azaozz]

Replying to jane:
There are couple more changes in 3.3 that I'm still testing/working on. The most important is the new formats option that allows using CSS classes instead of inline styles or redefining the HTML elements that are used in the editor. I'll have a patch by 30th.

(In [16090]) Editor: utilize the new "formats" option in TinyMCE, fix errors in IE when pressing Enter inside a caption box, fix resizing of the caption box when the user soft-resizes the image in the editor, fixes #12574
