Can't create blog and forum post on IE9

[Kristina Hoeppner]

reported at http://twitter.com/TheOrganist/statuses/57704366584512512

tested by me then on Windows 7 and IE9 with demo.mahara.org. I can also not edit a blog post. Provide title -> enter description -> Click save -> "Loading..." appears but doesn't do anything.

Groups get created fine.

When I want to create a forum post and enter subject as well as body, and click on "Post", the text in "Body" gets deleted and I get the message "This field is required" though I had entered text.

These problems never happened in Firefox up to FF4.

I also tested it on master.dev and the same problem occurs.

Upgrading tinymce may help with this. When I tried it (on http://demo.mahara.org), I couldn't tab into the body editing area, and clicking didn't work either.

[Kristina Hoeppner (kris-hoeppner)]

Did you try typing, Darryl? TinyMCE is flaky in the way that the cursor does not always appear, but you can still type (though that was not the case in my test).

[Darryl Hamilton (lordp)]

Yes, I tried typing, but the text only showed up when I could see the cursor blinking.

It seems to me that pressing tab from the title text field actually sets the focus on the normal text area behind the HTML editor instead.

Darryl, if you want to upgrade the version of tinymce, we've got bug #750815 to track this.

Feel free to take it on, it needs to happen before we release 1.4 and the sooner the better.

[Darryl Hamilton (lordp)]

Hmm, even on the current version of TinyMCE you can't tab into the editor field, even with Chrome or Firefox, so I guess that's not a specific IE9 bug.

[Darryl Hamilton (lordp)]

Ok, with the new version of TinyMCE in place, I can confirm that IE9 can create blog and forum posts.

Are there any other part of the system that should be tested?

[Kristina Hoeppner (kris-hoeppner)]

There were a few more things at http://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=2903

[Darryl Hamilton (lordp)]

Saving/editing a view description seems to be fine too.

Hi Kristina

I see that this has been fixed - do you know when myportfolio is going
to have this applied.

Craig
