My site is running 4.6.0 with the TinyMCE module. Working great for me with Firefox. I've a user running Windows 2000 and IE6 (latest service packs and everything). Every once in a while upon loading an edit page, his IE will spin up to 100% CPU and must be killed via Task Manager. I'm fairly certain this is due to some aspect of TinyMCE. We can't reproduce it if we disable TinyMCE.

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced similar. Also, I noticed some 2.0 release candidates for TinyMCE on their site. Any plans to upgrade the drupal module to support this?

Many thanks,

Larry

I'm using TinyMCE with Win2000 and IE6 and I haven't had any problems. What usually kills IE on my computer is Flash ads. imdb.com is so bad I've added it to my "restricted sites" list and turned off loading Javascript, Flash, etc.

What TinyMCE theme are you using? Advanced, simple, etc? If you're using a custom theme or plugin I suppose there could be a javascript problem that causes this. However, I've done theme and plugin development for TinyMCE, while primarily using IE6 on Win2000, and I haven't had this problem.

Hi Everyone,

I am running Tinymce RC3 under drupal 4.7 codebase, it's working fien with php 4 and errors with php5.

But a common error under both the PHP versions is font plugin not found in the watchdog.

Apart from that everything is fine.

The 4.7 release of TinyMCE module will use the 2.0 release. Not sure why IE is crashing. I'm unable to reproduce that.

I'm using winxp sp1 and tiny mce with the advanced view. IE crashes in exactly the way described above when I try to load my own drupal site which has no flash or banners or really any content at all since it's new. hope this helps-- it must not be just an isolated problem. using firefox is fine.

Why don't you try it with the Simple theme, that way we'll have some idea whether it's a TinyMCE plugin or theme that's causing the problem or if it's TinyMCE itself.

I neglected to mention my site is entirely SSL-encrypted. Port 80 is inaccessible.

Also, I've reproduced this client behavior on a Windows Server 2003 box running IE6 latest and the Advanced theme.

I am unable to reproduce this using the "Simple" theme. So perhaps it has something to do with the combination of SSL and Advanced theme. FWIW, the site is running on SuSE 9.3 and apache 2.0.53.

I'm in a bit of a bind, I can't release my site to my customer base if TinyMCE is going to behave this way in IE. I'd really like to have the use of the Advanced theme. I've tried using htmlarea and FCKEditor before, and they each had their various problems, so I settled on TinyMCE as it's light and does what I need.

What features from the Advanced theme do you need? You could write your own theme. Give me an idea of what you need and maybe I can help you get started.

Thanks for the offer! I should be able to write a theme myself. I may play around including/removing certain elements to try to figure out which it is that is killing the browser. When I have time....

Seems that the ibrowser plugin I added to tinymce is the cause for my IE spinning up. Very reproducable. If I move the ibrowser directory out of the tinymce plugins folder, no spinup. Put it back, spinup.
