Styles combo configuration: too restrictive (?), too cryptic error message
2) When specifying styles for the Styles combo I got a very cryptic error message:
The provided list of styles is syntactically incorrect.
Maybe it would be good to display the line that is invalid?
In my case the problem was in... code|Computer Code
Note that CKEditor works fine if just a tag is used to style text.
For example this is a small part of the default (sample) styles.js file:{ name: 'Computer Code', element: 'code' }, { name: 'Keyboard Phrase', element: 'kbd' }, { name: 'Sample Text', element: 'samp' }, { name: 'Variable', element: 'var' },
Impossible/hard to drag buttons to the end of a toolbar row
4) Maybe some day in the future: dragging buttons at the end of the toolbar is a bit cumbersome. Whenever I try to do this, it goes back to available buttons. I want to add it at the end so I slowly move it to the right outside of the active toolbar, and then I drag the button down to the right place (it does not work).
It's a bit counterintuitive that to add the button at the end, one have to move it exactly over the last button.
Drag-and-drop edge cases
5) The form in admin/config/content/formats/basic_html is quite big so I have a scrollbar on the right side on this page. It looks like this is causing some problems with d&d operations.
When I scroll the page down and back, then start dragging buttons, strange issues start happening like: dragged button is not visible at all, dragged button appears 200px above the mouse pointer etc.
Depressingness of "Allowed HTML tags" field
[OT]
The little "Allowed HTML tags" field is depressing for anyone that actually cares what's there ;)

wwalc commentedSorry for the whole bunch of off-topic issues in #1894644: Unidirectional editor configuration -> filter settings syncing. I was too focused on my overall impression while using the new administration area in D8 that I forgot we're tracking just one particular feature there ;)
Depressingness of "Allowed HTML tags" field
This is totally off topic, the field i so small, that is very hard to control what's there. I guess everyone got used to this fact, but now, considering that new tags will be added there automatically, a better way of displaying all tags could be helpful.

wim leersSo, I don't think we really need to work on any of this. The returns are marginal at best IMO.
Comment #4
wwalc commentedI'm okay with closing this. As explained in second comment I reported too much there :-)
After trying again to D&D a button at the end of the toolbar my impression is that it does not work that bad, the rest of your answers make a lot of sense, so ya, let's have this ticket closed simply.
