# Visual Editor not Working

 * When I try to add a new tick to a ticker which already contains some ticks, I
   can only do so when one of the previous ticks is on the Text tab, rather than
   the Visual tab before I press the little + button next to it. If it’s on the 
   Visual tab, a new editor box appears underneath, but I am unable to click on 
   any of the buttons, type text in or even change it to the Text tab. I’m guessing
   this isn’t normal. Is this a known bug?
 * I am using Chrome, but this is also the case in IE.

 * This is a known issue (but not a bug). You should see a little warning above 
   your first tick:
 * **Notice: When using the WYSIWYG editor you must save your ticker after adding
   or re-arranging ticks.**
 * The reason this happens is because the visual editors can only be setup on page
   load due to the javascript needed to create the dynamic visual editor. There 
   simply is no way to initiate and setup the needed javascript after creating a
   new tick, or even re-arranging them. You just need to remember to save the ticker
   after adding or re-arranging ticks before you can edit them (when using the visual
   editor). After saving, your new ticks will have usable visual editors applied
   to them.
