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:
No Cancel button anymore (Elastic only, in Classic it's there) - hmm?!?!
No option to change the editor type (Text/HTML) anymore (Elastic only, in
Classic it's there) - hmm?!?!
- 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.
- 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.
- Lot less colours for text and background (minor issue, but where's the
improvement here?)
- One has to click first on the "..." button to see the entire toolbar
(minor issue, but again I miss to see the improvement).
- 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...?
