Hello my ckeditor I installed with this plugin does work for me at body fields and does its job really well.
But when my ckeditor is applied to a cck field it does not load the text thats needed to be changed but does only appear when I switch the rich text mode off and dissapears when I start using the rich text again. As soon As I press save in rich text mode with the ckeditor nothing changed but with the editor off and after editing the text, it does show up. I am using a custom theme but a normal admin overlay.

Am I missing something here?

I'm a bit confused here.
Are you saying the editor only shows up after you've clicked "Disable rich-text" and disappears again if you click "Enable rich-text"?
What type of field is it? Textfield, textarea (with or without summary)? CCK for D7 does not provide any field types, they're all in Core or provided by other modules.

Could you please list the exact steps you perform after a page has loaded and say what the editor does after each one?

I will try to clear it up a bit.

I made a field in a content type called "see also". at the setup I chose a textfield and configured that field as a filtered text. At that moment my ckeditor shows up. I saved my content type. Made a new node, viewed the node but the text I just added in my textfield were not showing up.
So after I went to the node again, I saw that nothing for that field was saved. I switched the editor off, typed something, saved it, and it showed up.

After I tried to edit the node again, the text I just typed in the "disable rich text function" was not showing up in my ckeditor but does show up when I disabled the rich text.

I hope that clears my problem up a bit.

Ah, this is the same as in #971632: CKeditor breaks on text field (not on field type Long Text).
FCKEditor and CKEditor do not support being enabled on textfields, only textareas.
This is a limitation in the editor itself, not in Drupal or Wysiwyg, but maybe we can come up with a way to trick the editor into thinking it's enabled for a textarea.
Please follow the issue I linked to for any updates.

Thanx for the heads up TwoD, I was looking for a similar problem on the forums but I couldn't find one.
I'll definitely look into that topic!
