I'm using Drupal 5.x and am using a custom created content type named "News / Event". By default the page is promoted to the front page. The fields are just Title and Body.

When I create a new piece of News/Event content all is well. However, if I go in and have to edit the content, the teaser on the front page no long displays. I'm using the TinyMCE editor if it matters.

In order to get the teaser to show up again, I have to go in and edit the content again and cut everything out of the body textarea and paste it back in to it and submit the content.

Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Thanks!

There have been bugs with teasers for quite a while. See http://drupal.org/node/160241#comment-631542.

Another way of getting exact control of teasers is to create a custom content type and add a field specifically for that purpose - however, this means you always have to create it manually.

Since upgrading to Drupal 5.3 from 5.2, I haven't had any issues with this. Nonetheless, I'll keep an eye for the patch just in case.
