problem with showmodaldialog()

I am trying to run ckeditor 3.2.1 within a page that is launched via the showModalDialog() function.

IE 7

The menu items that are drop-downs do not work correctly. When you click on them, they flash the contents of the drop-down, then disappear.

This occurs if you have a single tab open in IE and that page launches the ckeditor page via showModalDialog(). Curiously, if you have multiple tabs open, it works fine.

Anyone know a workaround for this other than not using showModalDialog()?

Re: problem with showmodaldialog()

I have verified that this bug does not exist in FCKeditor 2.6.6. It is only a problem in 3.x.

Should i go back to 2.6.6?

When will the bug be fixed in 3.x?

Re: problem with showmodaldialog()

Do you really expect that this can be fixed without filing a bug and providing a testcase to reproduce the problem?

Re: problem with showmodaldialog()

We use CKEditor only with showModalDialog (as a newsletter editor) and we are desperately looking for a solution, otherwise it is worthless for us. Our customers get really annoyed about the fact that they can not change the font (name, size) after the first time. The #7175 patch does not fix this problem.
Does anyone know what is causing the bug (which script file) or how to fix it?

Re: problem with showmodaldialog()

that was the main reason why we decided to down grade to 2.6 version...

this and the fact that right click does not work properly....

if you rigth click anywhere the coursor stays at its original place , you need to left click on the desired place and only than right click....

this two issues are in modal dialogs only..... very annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2.6.2 work much better!

the test case is: open editor in modal dialog...

try to use change font/size or do a right click on text...

Re: problem with showmodaldialog()

@parkheaven and anyone experiencing this issue: please provide a working sample which clearly shows what problem are you experiencing (might be a simple .NET project or anything else).

Kenrath provided a patch in https://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/7175 and the comment above says only that "#7175 patch does not fix this problem" We really need more details. How can we fix all issues related to modal dialog windows if you don't provide any sample to help us in tracing down this issue?

Re: problem with showmodaldialog()

Hi all,

Reproducing this issue is very easy, actually.

Simply create a new HTML page in CKEditor's samples folder, with the following contents:

<script>showModalDialog('fullpage.html');</script>

This will open the full CKEditor sample in a modal dialog window, and you'll be able to reproduce the bug.
It only occurs on IE as far as I know (IE 9 included). Firefox has no problems.

Please let us know if you need more information.

Re: problem with showmodaldialog()

Dear Wiktor,

An example that shows the problem in can be found on this link:
http://www.loyaltymanager.nl/emailmanager/showModalDialog.html

Open this link in IE7/IE8 and make sure that only one tab is opened (the problem does not seem to occur with more than one tab opened).
Click on button and the CKEditor shows in the modal dialog.
Type something and change the font name or font size. Try to do this some more times and you will notice the font name or font size dropdowns are closing immediately and there is no way to change the font or font size anymore (unless you go into source mode).
If you go directly to the editor page:
http://www.loyaltymanager.nl/emailmanager/editortest.html you can view the source of this web page and you will not experience any problems changing the font.

We (Loyaltygroup, the Netherlands) use CKEditor in our Email Manager web application. The application is being opened in a new window from another web application and has always only one tab, so all our customers encounter the font problems all the time.
As we have not been able to detect the cause of the problem, we really hope that someone else can and that the problem can be fixed in the nearby future.

Kind regards,

Albert Mulder

P.S. By the way, we bought a license for CKEditor some months ago

Re: problem with showmodaldialog()

@parkheaven
Could you please apply the patch from https://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/7175 to your test case?

I can reproduce this issue in IE8 and 7175 patch works fine for me.
