Looking for a good WYSWYG editor. So far, I have evaluated TinyMCE - doesn't work with http://drupal.org/project/webforms, and FCKEditor - gives weird copy/paste mesages. The other editors, don't seem to offer copy + paste ability.

Anyone able to recommend a WYSWYG editor that offers copy + paste, and works well with other modules?

That fckeditor problem you mention is a firefox security setting, will almost certainly not be solved by fckeditor.

I only have used fckeditor and I am quite pleased with it.

http://drupal.org/project/editor looks promising as well, because it is build with drupal in mind, but is only in alpha. Have not used it yet

The copy + paste inability is a FCKEditor speciality and not experienced with TinyMCE on FF. I may have found workarounds for the webforms incompatibility. So TinyMCE is the way to go

I'm curious: what workarounds did you find?

I'm a fan of BUEditor. Not exactly wysiwig, but close enough for me. A nice preview button, and easily configurable icons.
