Description
I'm not able to reproduce these, but users have directed me to two nodes where the body has been replaced by the teaser/summary repeated over and over.
Here are the symptoms:
*Summary appears split out into textarea
*Fckeditor appears above body area normally, not editor for the summary text box
*No option to switch to plain text
See screenshot below/
I can fix these by excluding the node from fckeditor, rejoining the summary, and then including it again-- after that I can switch back and forth from rich to plain text, split or join the teaser all normally.
As it's fixable, this isn't critical, but it'd be nice to know how to prevent it.
thanks

I just saw this for myself. While not critical indeed, it is quite annoying. I was happy to find this workaround rapidly.
Just days ago, I updated the following modules on top of Drupal 6.13:
agenda
email
messaging
mollom
notifications
user_register_notify
admin_menu
cck

Could you try to test this with the 6.x-2.x version?

#4
Since I applied the above fix, I don't see the issue anymore. Trying another version is therefore useless in my precise case, sorry! It seems you need some precise condition to get this behaviour.
#5
Okay. Please reopen if someone has more precise information.
#6
I don't have more precise info but this occurred again. The user who reported it to me deleted the post. Could I possibly still find some needed info in the DB?
#7
What version of FCKeditor.module are you running? Could you try the latest version (2.0-beta2)?
#8
I am using the last non beta version (6.x-1.3). I didn't consider (yet) to use a beta version on a production site.
#9
You could try it first on a development or testing environment. Unfortunately, the release schedule of this module is not optimal, as the latest stable version is already quite old. I hope this will be solved in the next couple of weeks by releasing some new versions.

I upgraded to 6.x-1.4 and Drupal 6.14 this past weekend and am seeing the exact same behavior now. In fact, I rolled back to 6.x-1.3 of FCKEditor and am STILL seeing this behavior. I'm also able to take the steps listed in the original post to correct my content but for me the problem is not just annoying... it's crippling. I'm going to try the FCKEditor beta in my development site now just to see what happens and i will let you know.
It's curious that the "Switch to Plain Text" toggle is gone entirely when this happens. If that were visible at least the workaround posted above would be tolerable. Any idea why that link might not be present?

OK, just loaded 6.x-2.0 beta3 in my non-production environment and it's working better. The "Switch to Plain Text" link has returned and I was able, in my test, to blank out the teaser (above the FCKEditor toolbar) then hit "Join Summary" to close out that window and display it all in the Body: window below with FCKEditor enabled there. Made some changes and saved the content. Got only one teaser (instead of 2, 4 or 8 copies before) and was able to repeat this process a couple of times without generating more duplicate teasers.
I'm going to push 6.x-2.0 beta3 out to production and try the same. Wish me luck. I'll report back here shortly.

Confirmed, 6.x-2.0-beta3 behaves properly in production. I'm saved! Thanks for this thread AND for the module.
#13
Great. The 2.0 code already exists a long time and it is stable, but due to circumstances it has not been put into rc and final yet. This will happen soon.
