# Text Editor Error – Prototype.js

 * There appears to be an error on line 499 of prototype.js in the wp-includes/js
   folder. The error is as follows and prevents the new text editor functioning 
   because of excessive recursion
 * `return (inline !== false ? this : this.toArray())._reverse();`
 * The following line corrects the error:
 * `return (inline != false ? this : this.toArray()._reverse());`

 * It’s in WordPress 2.2.3 also. 🙁
 * Thanks for posting the fix though. Also, if you are having this issue, clear 
   your cash after fixing it and before testing.

 * This still haunts me in WordPress 2.3.1. It’s really an issue with the host though
   as I only had this issue after moving a client site from one host to another.
 * Either way. Thanks swhatley for the fix.
