I'm not sure if you mentioned it in the video but what version of Umbraco do you experience this on? Is it 4.7?
To me it seems like it's a bug, which I think you can safely report it to be on codeplex if it has not been done so already.
The error message is usually one that's seen when one is trying to post HTML from a form on the website into umbraco where there is some validation that makes sure potential harmfull code is not passed through. It should not happen in the backoffice however.
Hope this helps even though it does not solve your problem.
Yeah, Im using v4.7. I feel better about reporting it. I have had a few people now experience it and be able to replicate it... I don't want to remove validation from the site to get past it... so I'll look into reporting it.. Thanks
In the screencast I am using Firefox...thats the only browser I have tried so far (myself) but I have heard from others today that are experiencing the same issue.. like @TheAmph, but I am not sure what browser he was using. I am running a local server.. windows 2003..
Usually when you save in the RichText Editor and hit save.. it automatically adds a <p> at the begining of your text.. which immediately throws an error for me.. so if I click on the "HTML" button and type in that popup window I can at least get one paragraph of text in there and hit save. This way I can get around the automatic <p> tag.
I wanted to follow up with this post, because I see that my Bug report link no longer works. I have an install of Umbraco v6.0.0 set up for local testing as I look to update my site... and I see that the Rich Text editor inside the members area NOW WORKS... however, I would really appreciate knowing at what version this update was made. I have a site still on umbraco v 4.8.1 and it doesn't.
Can anyone please give a quick test if running 4.9, 4.10, or 4.11?
This has been a sticking point for my development for quite a while. Thanks.
RichText Editor Issue from within Members Section
I thought it would be better to show the error so I did a quick little screencast of it:

I can't seem to add HTML text to the RichText editor from inside my Members section. No idea why this section is preventing it.

Does this only happen in IE or all browsers?
What does the html look like before save (click HTML button on toolbar) ?

Ok so I finally got around to posting a Bug Report which can be found here: http://umbraco.codeplex.com/workitem/30299
Hopefully that will get fixed since its a pretty important part of my site build. Thanks for all the help so far Daniel Bardi & Jan Skovgaard
