You are trying to use a patch created 2 years ago.
According to that ticket, no one besides Garry did test it, so we don't even know if it handled correctly your test at that moment (he mentions some issues with non-IE, but there might be other problems that he didn't found).
Besides that, lots of code have been changed in all this time, so one or several of such changes might have broke the patch.

If you want to use a patch that it's just a proposal, you should be ready to get your hands dirty, understand what the patch is trying to do, test it and if you find some problem you should start debugging it yourself because you can't expect that anyone else is suddendly gonna start debugging it for you.

Then after you have some improvements and everything works fine, you can add your new proposal so it might be added to the core and from that point it will be maintained with the rest of the code.

So , I am just waiting for his/her reply

it was working fine on the latest trunk

I didn't checked it for every possible test case.

Sorry for missing the post in the first place.

No I'm not getting the same error. What you are getting is related to Tortoise SVN and not patch for CKEditor.

About the plugin, sorry for giving you false hopes but it simply does not work:
1. In Webkit selection stays when switching to source but the editor does not scroll down to it.
2. In FF and IE9-7 it keeps selection and scrolls to it
3. In Opera it scrolls to the text but it does not select it
4. In IE6 it does not work.
What is more when you switch from Source to WYSIWYG mode you get stackOverflow error.

The code is 3 years old and through that amount of time many things has changed. The code for this plugin should be rewritten. It can also be treated as a jump start to writing own plugin but nothing more.

Hi everybody!

I've just ported patch #3709 to CKEditor 4.x. Maybe it's not the best solution, but it works.

Follow these steps:

1. Download CKEditor source files;
2. Open ckeditor/config.js and add 'textselection' to the end of config.plugins value (like this config.plugins = 'about,menu, ... ,undo,textselection');
3. Create folder with name 'textselection' in plugins folder.
4. Add plugin.js from attach in the folder you created in step 3.
5. Open ckeditor/core/creators/themedui.js, search 'setMode' function (something like CKEDITOR.editor.prototype.setMode = function(){...} ) and replace this code

   editor.fire( 'beforeModeUnload' );
   editor.editable( 0 );
   editor.mode = '';

   with

   editor.fire('beforeModeUnload');
   editor.fire('beforeGetModeData');
   var data = editor.getData();
   data = editor.fire('beforeModeUnload', data);
   data = editor.fire('afterModeUnload', data);
   editor.editable( 0 );
   editor._.data = data;
   editor.mode = '';

That's all. You should build CKEditor now to get the minified version.

It works in:

1. IE7-9 it keeps selection (if you selected something) or cursor and scrolls to it;
2. Chrome it keeps selection (if you selected something) or cursor and scrolls to it;
3. FF it keeps selection (if you selected something) or cursor and scrolls to it;
4. Opera it keeps selection (if you selected something) or cursor and scrolls to it.

w8tcha has improved the plugin so it needs no core patching...
