Description
I just installed WYSIWYG 2.x dev with CKEditor and it was a total mess with the toolbar scrambled and the text area dark grey and not able to be clicked on. As a first test, I switched my theme to Garland and it started working just fine. Since that points to my theme as the culprit, I don't expect much in the way of support but I would appreciate it if you have any pointers as to what sort of thing I should be looking for. Is there any known things that can cause conflicts? My theme is based on Fusion, if that helps any.
Thanks,
Michelle

Ok, thanks to a couple people on IRC, I've got this sorted. There were two problems:
1) The default settings is to use the site's theme, which was what was making the text area not work. Changing that to use the editor's CSS fixed that.
2) I only have 580 pixels across for the editor and having 22 buttons enabled was causing it to go goofy because there's nothing built in to make it start using a new line or to break the buttons up into multiple lines in the settings. I cut it down to the bare minimum and that fixed it.
