CK4: Minimize button stuck, won't return after hitting Maximize

Hello. I have upgraded to the latest version of CK4 and notice that after I hit the maximize button, sometimes I can't get the screen to minimize back to where it was. The button will change mode but absolutely nothing changes onscreen. This is using FF 18.0.1. Any reason this would happen? It's a big problem because after maximizing to take up the whole screen, there is no way to get back to my editor and save my changes. Thanks.

Are you using CKEditor in a

Are you using CKEditor in a specific CMS like Joomla, Drupal or Wordpress? Do you have any additional configurations, cause it works fine on the demo page. It's worth looking into it, though.

Also Happening here w/Chrome v(24.0.1312.56 m)

Also have had this happen several times when using Chrome & CKEditor v4.0.1
Can't nail down the exact circumstances yet. will report back when able to.

Edit:

Not using in any CMS, just a simple test page:

<!-- BEGIN local scripting -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?=BASE_URL?>lib/javascript/ckeditor/ckeditor.js"></script>
<!-- END local scripting -->

<!-- BEGIN local styles -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?=BASE_URL?>lib/javascript/ckeditor/contents.css">
<!-- END local styles -->

<div id="pageBody">
  <div class="contentWrapper">
    <div class="contentHeader">
      <span>AdHoc Editor (CKEditor)</span>
    </div>
    <div class="contentBox">
      <textarea id="editorSurrogate" class="ckeditor"></textarea>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

I'm also using via source version currently as well.

In the essence of being

In the essence of being thorough, I set up a completely bare, stand-alone instance of the editor which you may test here (temporary): http://www.genome.gov/ckeditor_test.cfm

I can confirm that the problem starts when you begin toggling back and forth between Source and WYSIWYG views, then try to Maximize/Minimize. It will eventually get stuck, 100% of the time, on ALL browsers. So it looks like a bug, at least from my end.

Feel free to view my page source and tell me if there is anything wrong with the doctype/charset, anything like that.

This is on a Win7 PC, using the latest CKEDITOR v4 "full" download.

P.S. I have the CodeMirror syntax highlighter plugin enabled if that makes any diff. (http://ckeditor.com/addon/codemirror)

Can you please try to

Can you please try to reproduce it on a clean install without the CodeMirror plugin? When running the http://www.genome.gov/ckeditor_test.cfm test I got the following error in Firebug console:

TypeError: holderElement is null

var holderHeight = holderElement.$.clientHeight + 'px';
