Trying to track a bug with WYSIWYG editor, IE7 and RTx-EmailCompletion

Hi,

      I'm trying to track down a bug I am experiencing with RT, its

WYSIWYG editor, IE7 and RTx-EmailCompletion.

On my install when RT inserts content automatically into the body of the
WYSIWYG editor.

I only get this error when using Internet Explorer 7 (Haven’t tried
other IE versions). Firefox doesn’t suffer.

If I insert and RTFM article, my user signature (set under users
preferences), or hit reply/comment on a ticket transaction it posts the
info correct into the WYSIWYG editor window. When submitting that page
the transaction content randomly inserts spaces, line breaks, and chops
off the end of the content.

If I disable RTx-EmailCompletion it works fine.

I also have a JavaScript error in IE7 when RTx-EmailCompletion is
enabled;
Line: 2
Char: 1

Error: Syntax error
Code: 0

This error shows on every page. Looks like it’s a problem with
RTx-EmailCompletion. It doesn’t give a JS error in Firefox.

Has anyone else had this problem or been able to fix it?

Hmmm… odd that I dont get the error when I remove RTx-EmailCompletion, but you’re not using it. What other extensions are you using? Do you still get this problem if they are disabled?

Mine is getting truncated at 319 characters on every one. I never noticed it before.

Looks like my JavaScript error is unrelated. Its a RTx-EmailCompletion specific error that, so nothing to do with the truncation.

MIME-Version: 1.0
X-Mailer: MIME-tools 5.427 (Entity 5.427)
Content-Disposition: inline
Content-Type: text/html; charset=“UTF-8”
Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary
X-RT-Original-Encoding: utf-8
RT-Send-CC:
Content-Length: 319

Does it do it when inserting content fro m the previous page?

Alex,

I’ve observed the same kind of behavior when I use the “New ticket in” button at the top, but not when I enter a comment or reply. Additionally, my text is truncated at 55 characters. I’m having this issue in IE7, but not Firefox 3. I don’t get JavaScript errors in either browser.

I do not use RTx-EmailCompletion, however. Here’s an example of what I’m seeing (with headers):

For what it’s worth, an end-user of mine noticed the same thing today…
He’s also using IE 7.

Alex,

I’ve observed the same kind of behavior when I use the "New ticket in"
button at the top, but not when I enter a comment or reply. Additionally,
my text is truncated at 55 characters. I’m having this issue in IE7, but
not Firefox 3. I don’t get JavaScript errors in either browser.

The only extension I have is RTFM. More specs:
RT-3.8.2
RTFM-2.4.1
MySQL 5.0.67 (external server)
IE 7.0.5730.11 on WinXP SP3
IE7 Add-ons don’t apply, because I experienced the same issue in IE7 “safe mode” (‘iexplore -extoff’).

I’m baffled.

I am using pretty much the same as you, except I’m running IE7 on Vista.

Michael, do oyu still have this bug if you disable RTFM?

I can reproduce the error consistantly whenever I hit reply/comment to a specific transaction. Depending on which transaction I reply/comment on changes the site that the data is truncated. Doesnt matter how much more I type into the reply/comment, each transaction also truncated at the same bytes regardless.

The Javascript errors I had in IE had nothing to do with this bug. I fixed it my removing the references to scriptalicous.js and prototype.js in the modified header from the RTx-EmailCompletion header.From: Michael Finn [mailto:mfinn@nbutexas.com]

Further testing:
Logged into a different PC (Remote Desktop); logged into RT w/ IE7 --> same problem (55 chars, extra garbage).
Logged into RT as root w/ IE7 --> did NOT have the problem.
Fellow IT user (with same permissions as mine) is also not having this problem.
It looks like I’m the lucky one. :frowning:

What could it be about my login in RT that’s causing this issue???

Very odd. I just tried with a couple of other users and it seems to affect everyone, including root.

Anyone else out there able to test this to see if it’s wide spread or just isolated to three of us please?From: Michael Finn [mailto:mfinn@nbutexas.com]

I too am seeing this problem.

it only happens when:

  1. the WYSIWYG editor is being used
  2. IE7 is the browser
  3. The user has a signature (i.e. RT automatically inserts text)

Im wondering if it has to do with the signature column being TEXT vs. VARCHAR or something along those lines…— On Fri, 2/27/09, Michael Finn mfinn@nbutexas.com wrote:

Alex,

I’ve observed the same kind of behavior
when I use the “New ticket
in”
button at the top, but not when I enter a
comment or reply.
Additionally, my text is truncated at 55
characters. I’m having
this
issue in IE7, but not Firefox 3. I
don’t get JavaScript errors in
either browser.

I do not use RTx-EmailCompletion, however.
Here’s an example of
what
I’m seeing (with headers):

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/html;
charset=“UTF-8”
X-Mailer: MIME-tools 5.427 (Entity 5.427)
Content-Disposition: inline
Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary
X-RT-Original-Encoding: utf-8
Content-Length: 55

K . Tibbels PC& nbsp;won't boot.  &quot ;Strik =================

Subject: [rt-users] Trying to track a bug
with WYSIWYG editor,IE7
and
RTx-EmailCompletion

Hi,
I’m trying to track
down a bug I am experiencing with RT,
its
WYSIWYG editor, IE7 and RTx-EmailCompletion.

On my install when RT inserts content
automatically into the body
of
the WYSIWYG editor.

I only get this error when using Internet
Explorer 7 (Haven’t tried
other IE versions). Firefox doesn’t
suffer.

If I insert and RTFM article, my user
signature (set under users
preferences), or hit reply/comment on a
ticket transaction it posts
the
info correct into the WYSIWYG editor window.
When submitting that
page
the transaction content randomly inserts
spaces, line breaks, and
chops
off the end of the content.

If I disable RTx-EmailCompletion it works
fine.

I also have a JavaScript error in IE7 when
RTx-EmailCompletion is
enabled;
Line: 2
Char: 1
Error: Syntax error
Code: 0

This error shows on every page. Looks like
it’s a problem with RTx-
EmailCompletion. It doesn’t give a JS
error in Firefox.

Has anyone else had this problem or been
able to fix it?

A-ha! That’s a reasonable theory… I’ve got a signature on my account; my other users… not so much. :wink:

FWIW, I also have the problem occur on IE6.

As you suggested, I removed my signature from my Preferences, and the problem went away. Now, how does this help us solve the problem? If it were Firefox, I’d use Chris Pederick’s wonderful Web Developer add-on (Web Developer) to pick it apart… anyone recommend a similar tool for IE7?

Thanks,
Mike

I can’t seem to let this go. Comparing the “Download (untitled)” data
with my signature, I see that they are the same length and shape – the
same number of characters on each line. That should be a big clue as to
the truncation problem, as well as the ‘random’ spaces in the middle of
words – they correspond to newline positions in my signature.

Why does this only happen in IE (6/7/?)? Why only when I’m creating a
new ticket and not on reply/comment?

Still investigating…
Mike

Im wondering if it has to do with the signature column being TEXT
vs.
VARCHAR or something along those lines…

FWIW, the problem persists in IE8…

Are there more people than michael and I that are interested in a solution to this? I can’t believe that this isn’t affecting more people. Maybe nobody uses signature lines? It seriously breaks messages when you have a signature and use the WYSIWYG editor, so this seems like a fairly big bug.

I have spent alot of time trying to solve this, it is over my head, is anyone out there working on solving this? Im sure michael is also very interested in a solution as well, and hopefully others are too.— On Fri, 3/20/09, Michael Finn mfinn@nbutexas.com wrote:

Actually, I’ve been trying to replicate this bug for months, and wasn’t
able to do so until someone said ‘I have a signature’. Also, the bug
manifests differently in trunk because of other JS updates.

Okay. I know this happens when hitting Reply on a ticket transaction and
also when inserting text from RTFM. Does it still do that in trunk and
on your test system, or is it limited to me?

Okay. I know this happens when hitting Reply on a ticket transaction

This works fine on 3.8.2 and trunk for me (without a signature)

When the patch is in subversion, ticket 13320 will be closed
and people can feel free to test with trunk
