Re: [Krang-devel] IE / JS problems

[Bodo S. <bo...@le...>]

Hi guys,

after a lot of playing around I finally found a reproductible case
working in IE6 and IE7.

1. Go to some Xinha element having the formatblock drop down,
   e.g. Xinha-based bulk editing.

2. type something on one line and leave the cursor there

3. select an item from the formatblock dropdown

4. Don't click in the edit area after that <-- this is the crucial point

5. Click on a breadcrumb or "Done" button to return to the previous
   screen

Consequence: No text, textarea, poortext nor xinha field is editable,
the cursor just doesn't appear when clicking in them.  The blockade
disappears after a full non-ajax page reload only.

Could somebody please confirm this?

In the meanwhile I fixed it on the trunk in r5867
