evoluspencil - issue #161

Edit text of an object by double clicking doesn't work on Firefox and Linux Desktop


Posted on Apr 14, 2010 by Quick Panda

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Start Pencil under Linux or as Firefox extension 2. Select "Rich Text" From "Common Shapes" 3. Double click on the object

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? On Windows desktop version we can edit the text.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Tested with Pencil 1.1 rc 2 on Linux as Desktop and Firefox extension.

Please provide any additional information below.

I can confirm that this problem in version 1.2 build 0 on Linux (Fedora 14). I'm unable to put any complex text into the rich text edit box. For example I can start a bullet list but can only put one item in the list, as soon as I try and hit return to start another bullet, it takes the rich text box out of edit mode. I was able to copy/paste text into the rich text box as a workaround so the rich text box does appear to work once you can get complex text into it.

I have the same issue - desktop install on Windows XP - editing a rich text field, new data can be added and formatted, but when done editing, the previous text ("Text Pane") is visible. Double-clicking again to edit shows the desired text, still in its formatted state, but for some reason it's remaining hidden after closing the edit.
