 * This plugin breaks the visual editor for me and others. This issue has been known
   and reported by several people in the support section going back at least 4 months.
   The plugin author has done nothing about it, even after he’s been offered help
   by another programmer who pointed out a possible fix and offered to implement
   the fix if given access to the source code. That does it for me. I will uninstall
   this plugin and not look back. If the code is written so horribly that it breaks
   core functionality like the WordPress editor and then nothing is done about it,
   I do not want to deal with it in the future.

 * Hi – This issue has been reported and identified as an issue with a popup blocker
   being installed and blocking some code which makes the visual plugin editor work.
   Is this the same issue that you have dealt with? If not, I have not heard about
   an outstanding issue with the plugin. If you have any information about a different
   issue, please let me know.
 * Cheers,
    Scott

 * Yes it is this issue, which has been reported for at least 4 months (I now found
   6 mth old threads even) and not been resolved. It’s hardly a solution to expect
   people to uninstall their popup blocker (disabling doesn’t help), when most people
   don’t even initially realize that it’s your plugin that suddenly broke their 
   WordPress visual editor. So for this to be unresolved so long and for you to 
   say it’s “identified” and to pretend that there is no “outstanding issue” is 
   quite ridiculous. It is **identified as caused by your plugin**, so it would **
   be nice if you’d fix it and not cause people’s editors to break** just because
   they installed and activated your plugin. I noticed that now after my review 
   you have responded to einsiol who proposed a solution and offered help in the
   implementation. In your comment to einsiol you also mentioned the problem as 
   being [related to the URLs you use in your plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/breaks-critical-component?replies=4)
   and that you want to fix that. But you already made that same comment/promise
   6 months ago in another thread about the issue [here (#8)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updating-to-latest-visual-editor-not-working?replies=9)
   and until today it has not been fixed. So I don’t know if now you are finally
   going to fix it yourself or work something out with einsiol, but I hope so in
   the interest of the people (myself excluded) who still want to use your plugin.**
   Otherwise at least leave a prominent warning that the plugin could break the 
   visual editor if ad blockers are installed**, as you have known for 6 months 
   now. Cheers.
