Hi,
I actually intended to post here today about this very issue so I am throwing my hat into the ring on this one. The code editor since updating to SPPB v5.x from SPPB v4.0.11 has been an absolute nightmare to work with. I've cycled through all of the editors; JCE, TinyMCE, and CodeMirror, but the results remain the same. I either do not get the intended result or the supposed "Page saved successfully
" modifications are actually completely ignored. When it actually does save your desired text, SPPB v5.x inputs additional lines of code and/or automatically modifies the lines of code with erratic code input; such as, adding an extra <p>
or <div>
, arbitrarily adding <p> </p>
, etc. There are issues as well while attempting to use the drop-downs; i.e., Format
, Styles
, Font Family
, or Font Size
, which become inaccessible while using the editor in the expanded mode. They simply do not drop-down to allow modifying the selected text.
No different than the OP, I have no additional special CSS that tampers with the edited settings and yet, jumping through hoops to get the correct layout with the editor has become standard fair now. As noted above, these issues were not present with SPPB v4.0.11. This really needs to be properly addressed by the dev team.
Just so the devs have a bit more of a perspective on the whole. I have once again downgraded my website to SPPB v4.0.11, which in turn meant that I had to recreate one of my pages from scratch; one that contained several feature box elements. These feature box elements are not just stacked one upon the other either, so it was quite the task to get them laid out properly in the first place. So; once I downgraded to SPPB4, it took me less than an hour to recreate the exact same page as per my SPPB v5.0.8 layout; including the relevant text content for each item, of which the same process took me over 4 hours due to having to deal with the incessant editor issues.
Regards.
