CKEDITOR:
Installing and configurating the following versions.
Ckeditor Module: 6.x-1.x-dev (same problem with 6.x-1.2)
Ckeditor: 3.5.1
IMCE: 6.x-2.1
WYSIWYG: 6.x-2.3

Problem Description:
Press the Image button first then press the cancel button, the window does not return to it's editing state -- the entire window is greyed out.

Same thing happens when you add a smiley face, the entire window is still greyed out.

See example in www.Atikopa.org. Add a comment and you will see FCKEDITOR works ok but CKEDITOR does not.

Any help is appreciated.

That didn't work for me, tried 3.4.0 and 3.4.4. It's working on a fresh Drupal 6.20 but not on my updated site (6.16 -> 6.20). Any small pointers on what file to change/remove would be welcome.

I get the same problem: essentially whenever you choose an item that brings up a pop-up window (insert image, link, etc) the window behind the pop-up goes gray and stays that way after the pop-up window is closed. Once this happens nothing is click-able however it is possible to tab your way through the screen to the "Save" button so your work isn't lost.

I started with Ckeditor Module 6.x-1.2 & Ckeditor 3.5.1 and tried Ckeditor 3.4 but with the same result. I also have Wysiwyg 6.x-2.3 enabled.

I fixed the problem by disabling the Wysiwyg module, which CKEditor doesn't need.

Pls don't use CKEditor and WYSIWYG module in one instance of Drupal. It wouldn't be work, because it's incompatible.

I closed this issue.

Greetings

I have the same problem. However, if I disable wysiwyg module I can't get ckeditor. This only happens on one site. All sites have a common code base, share some tables and have identical settings. I have tries removing ckeditor and repalcing it.

The issue can also be due to errors in the theme. Add <?php print $page_top; ?> and <?php print $page_bottom; ?> before the body tag.

<html>
 <body>
   <?php print $page_top; ?>
    ...
   <?php print $page_bottom; ?>
 </body>
</html>

I added these two line in my theme and the freezing problem was gone.

For D6 theme:

<html>
 <body>
    ...
   <?php print $scripts ?>
   <?php print $closure ?>
 </body>
</html>
