Identifier	#1774
Issue type	Minor issue (breaks specific functionality)
Title	WYSIWYG editor: Selection of text gets un-selected every second
Status	Closed (no changes needed)
Handling member	Chris Graham
Addon	core_comcode_pages
Description	When trying to select text in the WYSIWYG editor, say to create a link or to change the format of the text, sometimes the text will get UN-selected about one second later. I have a feeling it's tied in to the spell checker because when it happens, my spelling mistakes (red lines) disappear for one second and then reappear again.
Steps to reproduce	1. Edit something using the WYSIWYG editor 2. Make some spelling mistakes 3. Select some text 4. Sometimes the text will get and the cursor will end up at the end of the line. Spelling errors within the text you selected will also disappear for one second.
Additional information	This has become such a problem sometimes that I would have to disable the WYSIWYG editor and try using HTML instead.
Funded?	No

Thanks for the report.

You didn't mention your browser, but your profile says you're using Chrome.

I can't reproduce and it doesn't resemble something I've seen, or come up for CKEditor with a quick Google. However, a likely cause is a Chrome addon you have doing it.

If you can show a Jing screencast (or some other screencast, I don't mind the software), where all Chrome addons are disabled, and it's still doing it, I'll re-open.

I have uploaded My Recording3.mp4 to show you the bug. It still does this with all extensions disabled in Chrome.

Thanks, I appreciate the effort recording that. It would also help if you could paste the source HTML from the editor into a post, just in case that has an impact (so go to WYSWIYG source view and copy from there).

I noticed your own theme is active, so went to see if perhaps it is caused by this. I'm testing via WYSIWYG on the recommend module, as that's public. However I am getting some errors testing from cloudflare...

This may be your server "rate limiting" cloudflare, if it is getting too many hits via it and doesn't know what it is.
You may want to disable it.

Alright, I ran a couple more tests.

First, I disabled HTTPS, since prior to a hotfix this was causing the WYSIWYG editor to not load. HTTPS disabled did not resolve the issue.

I also disabled Cloudflare for the domain lovinity.org . Unfortunately that did not resolve the issue either.

This is only happening on Windows and when correction suggestions are enabled.

I have knocked it down to the Chrome team.

Ah so you did manage to find the bug. Thanks for reporting it for me ^^

By Guest posted 19th Jan 2015, 9:41 PM

Hmm I come bearing other news. My setting for asking Google for spelling suggestions was never enabled during this time, but there seems to be another spell checker somewhere on my computer because I still get corrected, even in this text box.

EDIT: I take that back. Strangely there are two spell checking options in Chrome. One was enabled and the other wasn't. So I disabled both.
