Hi,
I am using Drupal 6.13, Excerpt module 6.x-1.x-dev, Wysiwyg Module 6.x-2.0 and FCKEditor on Apache2 Webserver, PHP 5.2 with safe_mode ON.
I recently faced the problem, that after installing Wysiwyg and the FCKeditor module, only the body field used the rich-text editor, the manual teaser created by Excerpt was using plain text. Also the teaser would only be autogenerated, when I would revisit an existing node, go to the edit page and save without changes.
After I installed the patch submitted in #21 on http://drupal.org/node/429364, the teaser used the rich-text editor as well and teasers were properly auto generated.
Then, to solve another problem, I installed the FCKEditor standalone module, Filebrowser and Image_reference modules and abandoned the use of the Wysiwyg module. , the teaser would be auto-generated. I then tried to use the latest patch from http://drupal.org/node/429364 with Excerpt 6.x-1.x-dev but still no auto-generating teaser luck. I would just make a fresh install, if the site wasn't as big and complex as it is. But like this, the only solution seems to me to be praying for help. Someone who works with Drupal a lot, told me, that modules can leave a lot of garbage in the database. Since all the files are gone, this is the only feasible idea of a problem, I can think of. Thanks
The solution didn't work though and I switched back to using Wysiwyg with the plugin, but now auto-generating the teaser didn't work again. I noticed though, that when I edited an existing node, disabled the rich-text for the teaser field and removed the line, automatically inserted by FCKEditor

The code line missing above is
