iPhone and tutmanik

The problem with 'starting' editing exists. It doesn't matter where you will enter a single character first, it will start working correctly. However if you would like to start with some other action - for instance deleting something it will not start working correctly.

This appears to be some generic bug in the open source code of the rich edit control and it will be addressed soon.

Cheers

yes, I was just able to edit the text ... but, nothing could be deleted until I added some gibberish (text) near the bottom, only after that I was able to delete the characters from the original text.
here is the post in question:

The text is unchanged so you could catch whatever sequence of characters is causing this problem.  I tried editing the text a few times and was able to repeat the behavior.

p.s.
Why does the order of messages, on the front page, change when someone edits an old message.  I guess 90% of the time people edit old messages to correct errors (spelling or format, etc.) without adding any new content.  Anyway, it seems a bit unnatural to have a message pop at the top of the front page (as if it was brand new) simply because someone added a 'comma'. :-)
(Perhaps there is an option to disable this behavior and I just don't know where it is.)

p.p.s

I just had exactly the same problem with this message ... I couldn't delete until adding something.  Try it.

This is really strange... how about later... like now... can you edit this post?

On the iPhone I was using Safari.

On my main computer I use Firefox 90% of the time.  The problem from just a day ago -- I wanted to redact (edit) a message that I just posted to the site. The redaction was to delete one letter and replace another ... i was simply not able to delete or add any new text to the original message.  I was not in a hurry and in fact tried the operation a few times .. even restarted Firefox. :-)

Regards.

Thank you for the post...

We know that the rich edit control has some problems... but we don't consider them critical enough yet to do something about replacing it with something better.

BTW, you are probably using Safari... I noticed that Safari (on Windows XP) is slower than Firefox and IE7 (yes!) in reacting to user actions as selecting, deselecting, changing focus, etc... which may lead to a feeling that something doesn't work... especially if you are a bit too fast with your actions. This is only my experience...

Anyway... thank you again... we need this sort of feedback, of course.
