* When working with the HTML tab, it’s become impossible to deal with as all the
coding just clusters up into block with no formatting whatsoever making nearly
impossible to work with. I have a screenshot but no place to upload here.
* Are there any system parameters for this plugin. I use it on many sites and am
having the same problem.
* Anybody else?

* Are you experiencing this problem only for widgets or even in Pages/Posts?
You
may upload your screenshot on a free service (tinypic.com, postimage.org, …)
and post the link here.

* It must be a conflict with another plugin. Please try to selectively disable
other plugins until you find the conflicting one.
Moreover, please check your
browser javascript error ccnsole.

* Hi All,
* [@jeffrey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeffrey/), did you find the problem?..
Having the same issue. Saving tidy html code in the tab stays tidy. However
one click and back to the tab, gives back a ‘blob’ of html code and
the following error on console:
* `Consider using 'dppx' units, as in CSS 'dpi' means dots-per-CSS-inch, not dots-
per-physical-inch, so does not correspond to the actual 'dpi' of a screen. In
media query expression: print, not all, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.25),(
min-resolution: 120dpi)`
* Please advise.
* Kind regards,
* Gerard.

* Unfortunately, no solution yet. Marco suggested a conflict, but I run this plugin
on about 25 WP sites, all different… and the ALL have the same problem. It’s
impossible to work with the code in html this way.
* I have to copy the code and place into dreamweaver or other html editor to edit
and re-paste into BS Visual Editor… a really pain. I’d love to see this problem
resolved.
* Anyone? Anyone?

* I’m also having the same problem, with 2 of my sites with this plugin, also the
only 2 sites i’m running with this plugin. They both run on WordPress 3.9.1
* If i add the visual editor, there is a error. Which is _Uncaught TypeError: Cannot
read property ‘on’ of null black-studio-tinymce-widget.js?ver=1.3.3:1_
* Maybe this can help.

* [@gerardjp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gerardjp/) The notice you reported
is triggered by a CSS included in WordPress core and it’s not related to our
plugin. By the way it should not harm, nor causing any problems.
* [@jeffrey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeffrey/) Have you tried to disable
other plugins? Unfortunately I cannot take care of every plugin in the world.
If you can find which plugin is causing the conflict, or at least provide a list
of plugins you are using, I can try to help. Also please read our FAQ.
* [@royvdl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/royvdl/) Please try with version
1.4 just release. If the problem persists, as I said, please try to disable other
plugins until you find the conflicting one.

* Hi Marco,
* Thanx for your response. Nothing breaks, it’s just a bit cumbersume to copy it
to textmate, tidy it, edit it and copy it back. But then again as a WordPress
user I shouldn’t need to add custom classes and edit CSS either. But I got an
eye for detail so it’s unavoidable 🙂
* If time permits me I’ll dig deeper and post my findings.
* Thanx again!
* Regards,
* Gerard.

* OK, Marco… I see that 1.4 is out… I will test this on a couple of sites. The
problem is that with 25 sites running VE, all with different plugins, I can only
hope to find a conflict early on in the process of investigation. I’ll look and
report back.

* Well, I can say one thing… I’ve tested on several sites, deactivating ALL other
plugins and the problem persists with no other plugins running. So it’s hard
for me to see any conflict under those circumstances.
* Note: Just to reiterate… If I paste properly formatted html code into the html
panel of Visual Editor, then switch to Visual tab, then back to html tab… it’s
all one blog of code impossible to edit… see my image posted in earlier comment.
* What next? Appreciate the help.

* [@jeffrey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeffrey/) Please could you paste
a snippet of html code which is triggering the problem (better on [pastebin.com](http://pastebin.com/)).
Moreover if you want you can send us the admin credentials of one of your affected
sites via our [contact form](http://www.blackstudio.it/en/about-us/contacts/).

* Ok, I was able to understand and reproduce the problem. It was depending on TinyMCE
stripping newlines around div tags.
I made a modification to editor settings
in latest version 1.4.1, so it should be fine now. Please check.
