There are a couple of problems with the Site Information page in 6.3. When I added a footer to the footer text box, and saved it, the refreshed page showed the footer in the mission box as well. If I updated the mission box, after saving it, it still displayed the footer in the mission box after saving it. However, ultimately the mission statement was saved.I also noticed that when this was happening, the option to change the mission box to use the plain text editor disappeared.

I tried this with Safari and Firefox and both are not displaying the mission statement and footer consistently.

I should have added that this is happening with OS X 10.5.4 (Leopard)

That's strange. I see no change in that part of the code from 6.2 to 6.3.

Can you reproduce the problem on a clean installation?

I have another site in development which has both a mission statement and a footer but when I go to the Site Information page they both are empty.

I'll try to find the time to create a clean installation.

I created a new installation and it worked correctly UNTIL I installed FCKeditor (6.x-1.3-beta2). So I am transferring this issue to that project.

Could you please list the steps necessary to reproduce this? I can't get it to malfunction. I've used a plain Drupal 6 installation and set the footer and the mission and they were both correctly saved.

I'm having problems narrowing it down. I have one site that works correctly and also has FCKeditor installed ... and I've done a file by file comparison with a site that is not working and found nothing significant.

I disabled the FCKeditor module on the site that is not working by and it didn't screw up the footer/header anymore. I enables FCKeditor again and the footer displays in both fields even though that is not the case.

Just to be sure: the FCKeditor module and FCKeditor versions are the same for both sites?

To be absolutely sure I copied the entire sites ... modules folder from the working site to the one that isn't and it still doesn't work. I did a bit more checking and the problem appears to be theme related. If I use a different administrative theme (giordani) it works correctly whereas pushbutton (and bluemarine) do not. I'm not sure where to go next.

That's odd, you'd expect that default themes would work. Could someone give instructions on how to reproduce this starting with a fresh installation?

I am having the exact same issue. everything worked fine until i added fckeditor. when i disable the module, everything works fine. when i enable it, the textarea on the site information page for mission and footer get really small, and do not retain any edits. all other pages seem to display and use the fckeditor correctly.

This is due a javascript error. All you can do is to try to track where does this error come from (probably another theme/module).
Check out this instruction: http://drupal.fckeditor.net/troubleshooting#3

There is problem with the Site Information page in 6.22.
When I added a footer to the footer text box, and saved it. If I updated the footer box, after saving it, nothing done, it still displayed the old footer after saving it.

Please try CKEditor (http://drupal.org/project/ckeditor). FCKeditor probably has issues with modern browsers.
