When creating a LIST SELECTION textfield within PROFILES with the HTML editor (even with with html source off) it does NOT allow the ability to have list selections. Normally this worked by hitting enter after each entry.

Example: Gender
Answer: Male or Female from pull down is broken and now looks like Male

Female on a single line in the pull down, not as seperate choices. ;-(

I don't understand this bug report.

Does the problem go away when you disable the HTMLarea module?

Dries,
No. The problem doesn't seem to go away. Wysiwyg html editor is causing major issues with the profile section. For example try to create a favorite books list... All book titles are strung together. Is the wysiwyg editor simply broken? It's not working in other areas. For example (again) hitting enter after each LINE is NOT creating a paragraph break.

Dries,
Let me clarify a bit on the html editor. To answer your question: I have NOT turned off the html editor, I have found it to be too valuable to turn off. When it works it is great.

I realize now that the entire html editor NEEDS TO BE CONFIGURED FIRST. I just assumed that paragraph would work. I now realize that the paragraph (and other options) are NOT checked as default. In FACT most are unchecked and must be configured for the html editor to work the way I thought it would. I hope this extra info helps.

Component: base system » profile.module

In HTMLArea, you can configure which textareas it applies to. Turn it off for the profile list selection setup fields, you don't need to disable it completely.

There are many configuration options for HTMLArea, one of them being EnterParagraphs. Also, if you have Filtered HTML enabled, make sure that you are allowing the proper tags (e.g. < p > < br > etc.).

I'm setting this to "won't fix", as it isn't a problem with profile.module.

Thanks Brian,
Before you close it out forever... here some points to consider with the wysiwyg html editor and the profile area in general:

ISSUE: Updating profiles sometimes NOT saving. Reverts to already saved data.

ISSUE: HTML Text editor DEFAULTS to ON in profile this completely erases ALL data that was input in OFF mode when RETURNING to EDIT i.e. LISTS are now completely GONE that were hand input! That's a very nasty one.

ISSUE: Shouldn't DATE in Profile follow the same formate as chosen in ADMIN: example 10/01/1967 I want to read 01/10/1967.
