It often crashes my admin overlays, won't seem to "always" load in chrome, and after disabling it, my site regained its speed and stability. I have looked at the 2.2 version of aloha over at github, and it uses a much different file/folder structure, and naturally won't work (I tried) with this module.

I know that the plugin is in heavy development, but extjs is so not drupally. Timeline? Does anyone have a patch for this?

Getting rid of ExtJS from aloha:

We're really waiting for the aloha library to make the switch to jQuery UI here, I think once they move across then we'll make any changes in this module fairly soon after. Did you say you tried the jquery UI branch from the aloha github repo? Not sure what the 2.2 version is?

Crashes:

We did have some reports of admin js in Drupal breaking, which we traced to a bug in our code, and fixed. If you're still seeing these problems with the latest release (alpha7) I'd be interested to hear about them.

Speed:

the ExtJs library is pretty big to download, so this may be what is slowing down your admin pages. Unless you have a lot of fields, like in a big view, I guess that could slow the page down as each field is activated.

seems to be better now.
i checked out the current github dev and the folder and file structure seems to be TOTALLY different than the current one in use with the module.

Title: jquery. » Move from ExtJS to jQuery

I continue to have some of the issues mentioned by the OP, even with the newest versions. Specifically, it's interfering with Admin module's click-out corner menu (clicking has no effect) and short-circuits a lot of the fancy design stuff in Adaptive Themes (e.g. suckerfish menu flyouts).

Given that this change seems coming, I won't go file issues for each one of those unless they persist after the switchover.

Hope Aloha library makes this shift soon :)

In the 2.x version of this module, Aloha Editor now works on the back-end, out-of-the-box (i.e. you don't have to download Aloha Editor separately anymore). Please *do* follow the included installation instructions.

If you want to use Aloha Editor on the front-end as well, please see #1782332: Upgrade the Edit module so that it leverages the Aloha module.
