body disappears for large content

i have same problem with fckeditor and this is showing that this is bug of drupal core

What browser is everyone using? Have you tried others? I suspect this might be an issue with how wysiwyg editors are implemented.

i found that this is a filter module because
md5 of the text when it is too larg cant calculated.
i solve this problem with these changes:

function check_markup($text, $format = FILTER_FORMAT_DEFAULT, $check = TRUE) {
  // When $check = TRUE, do an access check on $format.
  ++if(strlen($text)<30000){
  if (isset($text) && (!$check || filter_access($format))) {
    $format = filter_resolve_format($format);
   

    // Check for a cached version of this piece of text.

    $id = $format .':'. md5($text);
    if ($cached = cache_get($id, 'cache_filter')) {
      return $cached->data;
    }

    // See if caching is allowed for this format.
    $cache = filter_format_allowcache($format);

    // Convert all Windows and Mac newlines to a single newline,
    // so filters only need to deal with one possibility.
    $text = str_replace(array("\r\n", "\r"), "\n", $text);

    // Get a complete list of filters, ordered properly.
    $filters = filter_list_format($format);

    // Give filters the chance to escape HTML-like data such as code or formulas.
    foreach ($filters as $filter) {
      $text = module_invoke($filter->module, 'filter', 'prepare', $filter->delta, $format, $text);
    }

    // Perform filtering.
    foreach ($filters as $filter) {
      $text = module_invoke($filter->module, 'filter', 'process', $filter->delta, $format, $text);
    }

    // Store in cache with a minimum expiration time of 1 day.
    if ($cache) {
      cache_set($id, 'cache_filter', $text, time() + (60 * 60 * 24));
    }
  }
  else {
    $text = t('n/a');
  }
}
++}
  return $text;
}

Considering the time elapsed between now and the last comment plus the fact that D5 is no longer supported, I am closing this ticket.

Going to open this issue until I can confirm it doesn't exist in modern Drupal.

dpearceMN, I can say it is still happening with Drupal 6.22... I have a client who is unable to post, and the body is disappearing.

That is, when the body seems to be pretty big. Sometimes it does post ok.

Marking it active.

What filter type are you using? What editor (FCKEditor, etc.) are you using? Have you tried it without the editor?

I just tried a 100K word text sample (verified by M$ Word) in a filtered and full HTML body without an editor and it works fine.

Like drumm (#3), I suspect this is the editor you may be using.

I found this happened on a very large node body using Drupal 6.20 and CKEditor. The total html code was over 1,000,000 characters. When previewed or saved (I disabled CKEditor rich text and posted html code), the body just disappeared (on both Firefox and IE).

I did remove some unneccessary html code, reducing characters to about 980,000, and it worked. Maybe a coincidence or maybe there is a limit around 1,000,000 characters?

In Drupal 6.22, I just tried a 2 million character piece of text (2.4 million counting spaces) which works out to being a 425 pages using the Garland theme. No problems at all in either Full HTML or partial HTML.

I think we can safely say that Drupal 6.22 has no problem itself with large bodies of text.

Adding an editor may complicate things but if it does, it is the HTML editor's fault not Drupal's.

I have tested this against Drupal 6.22 so I am changing the version number of this ticket. This is done when an issue can not be duplicated against a newer version of Drupal.

if you think this is worth following up on, please determine which HTML editors you can duplicate this issue against and open a ticket against those editors.
