TinyMCE image-edit garble

Upgraded to wp2.3, fine for a couple days, then tangled up 2 images while editing a post. As I moved them around to resolve the mess, suddenly I had 4 well-spaced dots at the beginning of the post, and no images. Code showed each image had been reduced width=”1″ and height=”1″, and each image src=”” was double-entered.

Thereafter, I upload images ok, send them Editor ok, but when I use the image-edit tool and set the alignment, image-borders, etc. in the JS dialog … I get the 1-pixel image-resize and double-entry result again. (IE6)

Different but maybe related, in Firefox when I use the “edit” from the front end to tweak a post, an otherwise well-formed post comes up in the editor missing its src=””, so the image is gone.

It appeared that tinyMCE got scrambled when I fumbled the image-shift, and is now ‘stuck on it’.

Thanks!

The problem with tinyMCE that I described in the previous post became stable right after it happened, and has continued the same way & no futher changes for several days now.

I no longer use FireFox because calling up a post for Edit corrupts the image-relate code pretty bad. I can work-around the IE6 issues, because they only appear during initial insertion of image-code, in conjunction with using the tinyMCE > Send to Editor feature. I hand-edit the image-code in the Post, and that gets my post up.

Actually, I have considered preparing Post-code in an outside editor, then go to Write > tinyMCE, paste the code and Publish. Sounds kinda goofy … but I can do HTML, study the Quick-codes, keep track of the database numbers for my images, and probably do it.

But this notion also leads me to wonder whether others have already worked out a good way to edit their stuff ‘straight’ and FTP it, etc. Is the WYSIWYG tinyMCE the only way to do it, or do some folks ‘bareback it’?

… So, I have a limping, flopping tinyMCE (acts ‘rough’ during routine edit-operations), doing work-arounds, searching on everything I can think of, and worried that with any more issues, I’ll be fully disabled.

What I could certainly do is, just re-upload the whole wad of tinyMCE files, expecting a fresh set of code. OTOH, this could be a bad boo-boo, so I haven’t done it.

A pointer or hint, please? thx! Ted

I have this same problem in IE6 and IE7– using the image tool on the TinyMCE editor to align an inserted image changes the image size to 1×1 pixel and enters the img src tag into the code twice. This only happens in my 2.3 and up WordPress installs. Anyone have a fix? should I revert TinyMCE code to 2.2.2 version until a permanent fix is found– this is a big problem for my authors.

Same issue for me when inserting an image into a post and using the editor to alight left/right the image. 2 1×1 dots show up in place of the image. Very frustrating, as it of course only happens when using IE, not FF.

I was having an issue in Firefox 2.0.0.11 where the TinyMCE images were not displaying in my posts or pages wysiwyg editor. I was getting frustrated because there seemed to be no solution. My gut told me the images were corrupted and not the JS code. So I went to wp-includes/js/tinymce/themes/advanced/ and deleted the images folder. I then re-uploaded the folder with my transfer preference as auto vs. ascii. I then changed the permissions on the folder to 755 and logged back into my admin screen.

The images appeared just fine in the tinyMCE and now my wysiwyg editor function is working fine. Not sure if this will work for others, but it worked for me.

Has anyone tried to upload all the files again? I am going to give that a try. I have the same 1×1 pixel issue, but sometimes I can edit, but get 2 images, when I delete one of the two, the 1×1 comes back 🙂 I’ll be the first to re-upload.

Keep your fingers crossed.

Re-loaded all files. I still get some talk back from the editor.

anyone else? Bueller?

FYI – I’m seeing the same thing in WPMU 1.3.3, again under IE6, so I don’t think it’s just an upload issue.
