As we (in the meantime I have to say, unfortunately) *have* to update to RC
1.6.0 (due to PHP 8.x on our server), I found some severe glitches in the
editor, which makes composing messages much more difficult and in some cases
even nearly impossible for us:
1) No Cancel button anymore (Elastic only, in Classic it's there) - hmm?!?!
2) No option to change the editor type (Text/HTML) anymore (Elastic only, in
Classic it's there) - hmm?!?!
3) When adding a table, each cell gets a certain width (one cell per row
99.4886%, two cells per row 49.5467% etc., and the table itself 100%). In
the old version of the editor, the width of each cell (and the table itself)
was automatically adjusted to the length of the text it contained. This is a
*major* problem, as the property of each cell in each row needs to be
changed manually.
4) The button "Special character" does now list hundreds of additional
useless characters, but the character (which we need to use extremely
often) is not available anymore.
5) Lot less colours for text and background (minor issue, but where's the
improvement here?)
6) One has to click first on the "..." button to see the entire toolbar
(minor issue, but again I miss to see the improvement).
7) Probably a bug: The HTML editor first started with an arbitrary default
font "Lucida Gr...", although "Arial" was defined in the settings. This
problem seems to be disappeared now after I did save the settings again.
Especially items 3) and 4) are the most disturbing ones and make the editor
unusable for us. I believe to remember that we did have this problem in
1.4.0 as well and therefore installed a previous version of the editor. But
I'm not sure if this version will work with PHP 8.x?
Any comments/help...?
