Problem/Motivation

Original report:

Since the update to 8.4 when i create a table and add an image to one of the cells when i click on the other cell it does not type in it, the blinking cursor changes but it will not write until i click that other cell 3 times in rapid succession or i change back and forth from source then it changes and allows me to add data to the next cell.

Steps to reproduce

  1. insert table
  2. insert image in some table cell
  3. click another cell
  4. type "blabla"

Expected: "blabla" shows up in that cell

Actual: nothing shows up in that cell

You can break out of this "frozen selection" by clicking outside the table and then clicking a cell to type in. If you then again click the image, then typing in other cells is broken again until you click outside the table.

Proposed resolution

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

API changes

Data model changes

I can't reproduce this in the demo CKEditor instance at https://ckeditor.com/ckeditor-4/.

This looks like a regression in CKEditor 4.7. Because I can still reproduce this after the revert of #2908864: Update CKEditor library to 4.7.3.

Status: Active » Closed (cannot reproduce)
Issue tags: +Bug Smash Initiative

This issue was filed against Drupal 8.4 and Drupal 8 is now EOL.

I tested on Drupal 9.4.x and was not able to reproduce the issue. Presumable this has been fixed in CKEditor in the intervening 4 years.

Therefore, closing as cannot reproduce. If you are experiencing this problem on a supported version of Drupal reopen the issue, by setting the status to 'Active', and provide complete steps to reproduce the issue (starting from "Install Drupal core").

Thanks!
