Description
In IE 7, External Link conflicts with TinyMCE (3.2.1.1) with wysiwyg (1.0), rendering TinyMCE unusable.
#1
Could you provide more information (a screenshot would be awesome), about exactly how it conflicts?
#2
Sorry to be unclear. None of the TinyMCE buttons show up, so you can't do any formatting or linking, etc. See attachments for example.
#3
Would it help to know what other modules are installed? Let me know if you can't reproduce it locally and I can provide more info.
#4
Does that mean that just disabling External Links module makes TinyMCE work again? Did you test other editors as well?
#5
That is correct. When I disable External Links, TinyMCE works again. Unfortunately I don't have any other editors installed right now to test with.
FWIW, in trying to isolate this, I found two other modules that cause the same problem with wysiwyg + TinyMCE -- Popups and Date Popup.
#6
This should be fixed in the 1.7 version since we now use an alternate approach for adding the external icon. Previously we were adding a background image directly on the link (or tinyMCE button in your case). Now we check that the link is "display: inline" before adding the icon. Since tinyMCE buttons are all display: block, they should be excluded.
Separately, it's confusing why the links would be affected at all, since they're javascript: buttons and not external at all.
Regardless, I tested with WYSIWYG module on both FCKeditor and tinyMCE and it's fixed in the 1.7 version.

I wonder whether that test will have false positives in custom themes, but anyway - thanks for taking this on, quicksketch!

Automatically closed -- issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.

For what it's worth, I also had this issue, and it turns out the problem (at least in my case) was not the javascript, but rather that the extlink's CSS file was the straw that broke the camel's back of IE's 31 CSS file limit. TinyMCE was then unable to load it's own stylesheet.
The solution, in case anybody else has this issue and finds this thread. Is to reduce the number of CSS files you use or turn on CSS aggregation.
Hope this helps.
