I'm running CKEditor V3.5.1 on a fresh D7 install. Everytime I attempt to put in a link, do a search, etc...it freezes the browser (just that window). See images. Whether I try to do anything (a search or create a link) or just cancel out it leaves the window frozen. I've switched back to garland to test and have tested on latest chrome/firefox. Here are the js errors from chrome:

Uncaught [CKEDITOR.editor] The instance "edit-comment-body-und-0-value" already exists.
ckeditor.js:24Uncaught [CKEDITOR.editor] The instance "edit-body-und-0-value" already exists.

The weird thing is that the IMCE popup box works just fine.

I am getting the exact same thing using Firefox. Anything with a pop-up stalls the browser in the edit mode in CKEditor. I've disabled just about everything possible (such as overlays) in a fresh install and it freezes.

But then I'd say the priority should be major or critical for D7.

UPDATE:
When I change the Load Method option under the CKEditor configuration Advanced option to "ckeditor_basic.js" the problem goes away.

Excellent find Old Man. I did think too much of the priority setting when I filed the issue. I changed it to major.

Thanks, dczepierga!

The DEV version seems to have fixed the problem. I haven't checked everything else out yet, but no problems so far.

Hi,

Just downloaded ckeditor v3.5.2
Config is : Win7 / FF 3.6 or IE9

The problem has changed but is still there. (Ex: new html link).
The popup window displays and is active, but on submit (or cancel), the parent page is freezed.

Any update ?

It's problem with CKEditor plugin, not CKEditor module. I can't do anything with it.
Pls report it here: http://dev.ckeditor.com.

The issue can also be due to errors in the theme. Add <?php print $page_top; ?> and <?php print $page_bottom; ?> before the body tag.

<html>
 <body>
   <?php print $page_top; ?>
    ...
   <?php print $page_bottom; ?>
 </body>
</html>

I added these two line in my theme and the freezing problem was gone.

For D6 theme:

<html>
 <body>
    ...
   <?php print $scripts ?>
   <?php print $closure ?>
 </body>
</html>

I suddenly started experiencing this problem in IE 9 and Chrome 20. Some times, no popup window appeared. Some times, the Image Properties window would appear, but not the IMCE file browser. I remembered something about a problem with Chrome and 3_6_2 so I tried both 3_6_2 and 3_6_3.

I had my admin theme set to Marvin. When I changed to Garland, the problem went away in IE but I still cannot get the IMCE browser window to show in Chrome. There is an additional tab in my Windows footer showing that the Browser window was started, but nothing shows.

It's a puzzle to me why it started happening suddenly and I made no change to the themes. I did add some Ubercart modules, but that should not have affected the editor.

@bdornbush,
please try use nightly build of CKEditor library: http://nightly.ckeditor.com/. If you use CKFinder, please update it to latest version http://ckfinder.com/download.
Please give a note if it helps or not.

I downloaded the nightly build CKEditor 3.6.5 (SVN) (revision 7584) and I get:

With Marvin, a freeze with IE but at least Chrome and Firefox now work fine.

With Garland, all three work fine.

@bdornbush, please try use stable 3.6.4 version of CKEditor.

bdornbush’s picture

bdornbush commented

I tried 3.6.4, with the same result: Firefox works, but IE9 freezes when I click either About CKEditor or Image.

@bdornbush,
please check in Developer Tools if you see any errors in IE and Chrome. Please check also in server error logs if you see any errors there.

bdornbush’s picture

bdornbush commented

In IE Developer tools: SCRIPT14: Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.
ckeditor.js?Y, line 13 character 293

I googled this error, and found that the problem was due to CKEditor trying to create an additional style sheet. When I changed the performance setting to enable Optimize CSS files, the editor worked.

I have IE Unlimited CSS Loader module enabled on the site, but apparently it didn't prevent the error.

Ok so u have problem with too much request - IE have limit of max request to server per page loading.
U must optimize your theme to have less request with CSS and JS files.
Do u try to enable optimize CSS/JavaScript files and enable cache in Drupal?
