I was on Umbraco 7.7.6 and having an issue where the RTE was just expanding non-stop on page load, showing no content whatsoever (although you see it in code). I figured it was a mini big and upgrading to 7.10 would fix the issue but it hasn't. Please see the video attached and if there is anyone that is or has experienced this issue in the past, please let me know what the cause might be! As you can imagine, updating any content on this site is essentially unmanageable for someone who has no experience with html so it essentially renders the entire website being on a CMS pointless.
Link to the behavior on 7.10 (same exact behavior as 7.7.6, but wanted to show it on this version anyway: https://vimeo.com/263551828
Are you pulling in a custom style sheet into your RTE?
I had a very similar issue when I had a style that was trying to make (I cant remember the element) 100%. Didn't realise it had made it's way into my RTE style sheet and screwed it up. Took me about 3 months to find!
@Dave - Good idea with the console. Checking that and there seems to be an error associated with the iframe that the RTE sits in. This is what it looks like.
Unfortunately, I am not too sure what that means or how to even trouble shoot. As I mentioned earlier, this was a fresh Umbraco install, so there were no customizations made to the grid RTE, or any style sheet modifications either.
Is there a way I can upload a fresh version of TinyMCE into my Umbraco install so I can see if that is the issue? Thanks for the help all
Silly me. I figured this out. FWIW, The answer was very simple and I am just posting in case someone else comes across something, but probably won't because they are smarter than me.
I had a stylesheet loaded into the RTE that messed everything up and that was it. Thanks everyone
Thanks for updating the post Mike, great to hear you got it solved. Way to go 🙌 I'll mark your answer as the solution. Did you identify anything in particular in the stylesheet that caused the unwanted behavior?
Nagging RTE issue

Hi Mike,

@Nik, How would I check for that? To my knowledge this was a fresh Umbraco install.
Hi Mike,
Do you see errors in your browser console ?
Did you customize the grid RTE ?

Hi Mike,
Can you show the error ? That is not visible you screenshot
Dave
Do either of these help?

No, it was simply having accidentally checked a stylesheet when setting up the RTE for the doc type :-/
is working on a reply...
