Typing spaces stops working after two soft line breaks in Chrome.

Description

When using the classic editor in the Chrome browser, an issue occurs where the space bar stops working when trying to add a new post.

To reproduce, using chrome:

  1. Create a new post.
  2. Type a few words in the visual editor, and hit shift+enter.
  3. Type a few more words, and hit shift+enter again.
  4. Type a few more words. Now all the words run together.

Notes

  • Tested and reproduced the issue on 3 different sites (2 platforms), plus two local VVV installs.
  • Happens on WP 5.2, also observed in versions 5.1.x
  • Tested using Mac OS 10.14.4, Chrome Version 74.0.3729.131
  • This happens _only_ in the Chrome browser. It works fine on Firefox Dev (67.0b18) and Safari (Version 12.1)
  • This happens _only_ in the visual tab of the editor, not on the text side.
  • This happens only using the Classic editor, not Gutenberg.

  • Milestone changed from Awaiting Review to 5.2.1

@parkcityj thanks for the great bug report and welcome to trac! :)

Confirmed, also happens on Windows and in all Chromium based browsers, and in the classic block in the block editor.

This seems to be a bug upstream that was fixed recently. To test:

We'll need to update TinyMCE to get it fixed. Setting this tentatively to 5.2.1. It's not a "huge" problem but very weirdly looking one, and in the most popular browser.

#2 @desrosj

I did some testing with the patch over on #47229 (which upgrades TinyMCE to 4.9.4) and can confirm the bug is fixed.

#3 @desrosj
6 years ago

  • Keywords needs-patch removed
  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Status changed from new to closed

I am going to close this one out, as #47229 should fix this issue. @azaozz let's make sure @parkcityj gets props when [45316] is backported to 5.2 for the exceptionally detailed bug report!

#4 @azaozz

  • Owner set to azaozz

In 45343:

Update TinyMCE to 4.9.4. Changelog: ​https://github.com/tinymce/tinymce/blob/4.x/changelog.txt.

Props parkcityj, azaozz.
Merges [45316] to the 5.2 branch.
Fixes #47229 #47205.
