Hi John,

The random unsaved icons I think is a known issue and has been resolved for the next release, see:  http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-278

I'm not sure about the other issue, can you elaborate?

-Tom

Tom - thanks for the icon issue info! much appreciated.

in regards to the <p> tag, when I click save and publish paragraph tags are getting inserted (which seems normal) but the paragraph tags and then getting encoded somehow when displayed. see snapshot below. I've clicked save and publish on first 3 items. they now have an encoded paragraph tag displayed. the other previous ones do not. could this be a TinyMCE issue? this problem did not exist before upgrading from 4.7... also it seems that when you use the latest version of FireFox and go into HTML mode nothing is displayed.

Tom - it also looks like the data is not being encoded and stored in the db...

from db:

ok, looking at the older records that have not been touch since upgrading, it looks like a <p> was NOT getting inserted on save and publish:

<doc_downloads_item id="53005" parentID="15141" level="4" writerID="0" creatorID="0" nodeType="1669" template="1649" sortOrder="4" createDate="2012-03-09T12:11:19" updateDate="2012-08-23T10:41:59" nodeName="Assignment of Membership Interest" urlName="assignment-of-membership-interest" writerName="Administrator" creatorName="Administrator" path="-1,2314,15132,15141,53005" isDoc=""><umbracoNaviHide>0</umbracoNaviHide><navTitle>Assignment of Membership Interest</navTitle><downloadCommentsAllowedGroups>Business Law</downloadCommentsAllowedGroups><downloadCommentsConfirmationFrom></downloadCommentsConfirmationFrom><downloadCommentsConfirmationTo></downloadCommentsConfirmationTo><umbracoSideNaviHide>0</umbracoSideNaviHide><pageTitle>Assignment of Membership Interest</pageTitle><bodyText><![CDATA[Assignment of LLC membership interest by member to assignee, with basic assignor warranties, assumption of member obligations by assignee, and consent by other members]]></bodyText><excludeFromFeaturedItems>0</excludeFromFeaturedItems><titleIndex><![CDATA[]]></titleIndex><excludeFileFromSearch>0</excludeFileFromSearch><downloadItem>53004</downloadItem><newWindow>0</newWindow><itemDate>2012-03-09T00:00:00</itemDate><allowedAccess>2</allowedAccess></doc_downloads_item>

ok, looks like I can control this via the tinyMceConfig.config file by setting the following property:

  <customConfig>

    <config key="entity_encoding">raw</config>

    <config key="spellchecker_rpc_url">GoogleSpellChecker.ashx</config>

    <config key="forced_root_block">false</config>

  </customConfig>

thx Tom - went ahead an updated the cms.dll as well... much appreciated...

after making the code adjustment, I'm actually gettting timeout errors now on nodes with hundreds of child nodes:
