Known Issues

We're trying to squish all the bugs within Vanilla. Some of the time, they're caused by third party add-ons. Sometimes, it's us.

Current Bug List


FCKeditor throws a critical error when saving a page that contains pre tags

Status: Open
Priority: Low
Behaviour: A JavaScript alert is shown when a logged in user tries to save content containing pre tags. Data is still saved.
Cause: FCKeditor
Pages affected:
edit.php, edit_sidebar.php.
Side effects: Will also occur when autosave is triggered (only if enabled).
Action: None yet.  Known bug in FCKEditor.

Workaround: The error doesn't actually prevent a successful save. Editing the page in source mode seems to circumvent the error.

Behaviour: See title. Here's some which aren't inside pre tags - they're fine like this.
Cause: FCKeditor
Pages affected:
edit.php, edit_sidebar.php and resulting public page content.
Side effects: NA
Action: Investigate FCKeditor's parse options/methods further.  Known bug in FCKEditor.

public pages - usually those with sidebars
