    Bug in rich text editor (webkit browsers)

    v: 4.0.2.1

    When pasting (plain text) content in to the editor using chrome, the following strange behaviour occurs

    * Copy text content from notepad
    * Press ctrl_v to paste in to editor
    ** At this point nothing appears in the editor, but viewing the html source shows something like the following:

    <div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">  [SNIP]...

    The content is pasted in to the editor, but in a hidden div.  Pasting again will paste the content in using <p> tags, but the original hidden div will be there, along with duplicated content.  Even after publishing the page these hidden divs will remain in the published page.

    This seems to be a known issue with tinymce & webkit browsers. Probably worth pointing out here however for any users that run into this.

    The only workaround I can find currently in umbraco is to paste using the "paste from word" button.  This however wraps the plain text in divs instead of p tags, which is far from ideal.

    A heads-up - best to use firefox or IE to admin sites until this is sorted.  Hidden duplicate content could be seen as keyword stuffing by google and incur penalties.

    I can confirm this, as I just experienced the same when copying text into TinyMCE using Chrome. I didn't think it was caused by the browser, but I may need to use FF when doing this sort of stuff. Thanks :)

    Are you guys getting it in 4.0.3?  It's a bit of a showstopper as far as using webkit-based browsers for editing umbraco sites

    Here's another similar ticket

    and here is a purported workaround

    It is still the same in 4.0.3 as far as I can tell, but you can just click the "paste from word" button, and paste the plain text into that textarea. Works fine, and does not completely spoil the editing experience.

    Or at least anyway to easily clean content? My client has been editing with Chrome for a couple of weeks now..

    Same issue here, Safari and Chrome have the problem. We've moved to firefox for content editing, that is not a long term solution.
