This isn't a WYSIWYG issue per see , but I thought someone here might have some support...

Anyone got any experience using WYSIWYG with TinyMCE when using the Rubik theme.

I've been happily using the above module with Garland for ages. I've just moved to Rubik for my admin - (been playing with Atrium too which uses that theme) and I seem to be experiencing a lot of issues.

1) Previewing formatting doesn't get applied in filtered HTML
2) Styling get's copied to inline when using copy and paste
3) Lot's of extraneous span and divs are making their way into my copy.

1) If you're missing formatting in the rendered node as well [and there for example are no style attributes left on any tags], it's because Filtered HTML has the "HTML Filter"-filter enabled. It always filter out styling for security reasons. I recommend WYSIWYG Filter instead.
If it's working on the rendered node and you're using a different theme when creating content, some differences are to be expected if the content creation theme doesn't contain some classes your regular theme does. It may also be because the previewed node is placed in a slightly different position in the document compared to the rendered node, so some style rules may not apply in that case.
Note that Wysiwyg module doesn't include any extra stylesheets for your content in the main document during preview or regular rendering, it's all controlled by the current theme. This is to avoid breaking formatting on old content simply because Wysiwyg module is reconfigured or deactivated. Wysiwyg modul only tries to change which stylesheets are inclued in the editor's editingArea.

2) Copy-paste has never been the friend of WYSIWYG editors, especially if you're copying from Microsoft Office applications. They always add tons of stuff we're usually not interested in (style rules in comments to name one thing) and it's very hard for the editors to filter all this out.

3) See 2.

Hi twoD, I use tinymce and wysiwyg all the time no problems, I just started poking around with rubik as the admin theme and that's what my question is about really..

The markup is not getting stripped in the node,there aren't any issues with that. As mentioned in my post.. Key formatting is missing in filtered HTML mode whilst editing content,.. Don't get bullets displayed in unordered lists for example, even though I can see they are there in the markup.

The copy and paste issue isnt related to pasting from word or other outside content sources,
I'm familiar with paste as text and paste from word. Rather the issue is when copying say a paragraph that has been created in the editor window

I know of a styling conflict where some themes override the bullet list styling made by the editor.
Basically, if the markup is ok, the editor and Wysiwyg module are most likely fine. The rest should be all about tweaking your theme's stylesheets.
I can't say more about the copy/paste issues without code samples.

If it works in one theme but not in another, then it's clear that the other theme has to be fixed.
