Processing hang occurs when saving content pasted from Google Docs or external source
Details:
Where does this happen?
When adding content in a portfolio
What happens?
Clicking on "Save" button shows "Processing..." but hangs (403) when pre-formatted content pasted from an external source, i.e. Google Docs, Gmail, Microsoft Word (less often), etc.
Observations:
- Noticed that this will especially happen when span tags are copied from the origin.
Workarounds:
- Paste as unformatted text, and make formatting changes from within Mahara.
Other comments:
Previously, users have been able to do this without issues. If they are to make simple edits to content that originated from an external source like Google, they risk not being able to save their changes. Their only workaround is to copy and paste into a new content area (like mentioned in the workaround). The existing content, while can be displayed, may not be edited successfully. |

In addition, if using Mahara's editor only, this will occur if you do things such as change the font size.
Observations:
- Noticed that this will happen when span tags and li (with style attributes) are involved.
Workarounds:
- Paste as unformatted text, and make formatting changes from within Mahara.
- Or avoid (strip out) span or li (with style attributes) tags.
