Paste Dialog Box Hangs

I had Paste From Word enabled, but when I did, selecting Paste From Word in IE caused the popup Dialog box to show the "loading" bar endlessly... the actual textarea entry box never appeared, or when it did, it took a very long time. In Firefox, this worked fine - dialog box appeared as normal.

I have since turned off Paste From Word by setting ForcePasteAsPlainText to true. AutoDetectPasteFromWord is also set to false. Now, when pasting from any source into IE, using CTRL-V or selecting the Paste or Paste As Text buttons, my clipboard text is automatically pasted into the editor without a dialog box. Perfect! This is what I want.

However now in Firefox, pasting either with CTRL-V or using a Paste button loads the Paste As Plain Text dialog... which never finishes loading. It just sits there with the progress bar spinning, but never loads. Why did it stop allowing direct pastes into the editor with CTRL-V?

I set ShowDropDialog to false but this didn't change anything. Please help!

Re: Paste Dialog Box Hangs

I've had exactly the same problem.
When I looked at the source of the iframe (with the progressbar) I saw it displayed an ASP error.
Weird because the page is HTML.

After testing and debugging I found it was a problem in IIS (on Windows server).
IIS was configured to load HTML files with asp.dll.
After deleting this configuration in IIS the "Paste from Word" dialog worked without a problem!!

(IIS-> Select website->open properties->tab homedir->button configuration->delete or change application extention .html).

For me, this problem resolved itself after a reinstall of the app in which my FCKEditor is embedded - however, the reinstall probably cleared up the issue you highlighted. If I have this problem again, now I know where to look. Thanks!
