How to fix endless entry editor?

Post by Cerissa79 »

I've tried searching the forum for a resolution on this issue and I may not be entering the right search terms. Anyway, I notice that whenever I enter a new entry, the text area will go on and on, and endless line to the right. Is there anyway to fix this so the entry area stays within the browser viewing area? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

hm, sounds crazy.

Do you use a WYSIWYG-editor?

Can you make a screenshot of the problem?

I can't seem to get an attachment posted with the screenshot, but basically, when you start a new entry, you can type forever on the first line and it never wraps the text to the second line, you have to manually enter to get text to the next line. Any ideas? Thanks!

Use a service like imageshack.us to upload the screenshot then, this should help us a lot. :)

Ok here is a link to the screenshot I was able to get:

I am using the WYSIWYG editor and have tried various browsers such as internet explorer, msn and firefox with all the same results.

I am using the Bulletproof v1.4 template because it is the only one I could find that would allow me to add my own logo and change the color scheme.

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks!

Well, think it's a feature, not a bug. Garvin or anyone else might know how to change that behavior, but I'd simply recommend to use the non-wysiwyg-editor. Using additional buttons this is quite comfortable.

I do not use wysiwyg, there are more than one of such editors in s9y, or? Which are you using?

that screen shot shows a long string of characters without any breaks. Can you use words and such like a regular paragraph? Try this:

Code: Select all

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Quisque ultricies arcu ut ligula. Nulla justo. Nulla vestibulum elit in erat. Mauris sodales. Aenean est tortor, pellentesque nec, aliquet eget, consequat sed, odio. Vestibulum interdum enim vel libero. Curabitur euismod gravida mauris. Nunc ut diam nec ligula imperdiet venenatis. Ut cursus pellentesque enim. 

Proin euismod justo id urna. Nam eget quam vitae ipsum vestibulum elementum. Nullam id turpis. Mauris iaculis mauris nec lacus. Curabitur quis nunc at lacus hendrerit imperdiet. Curabitur libero tellus, bibendum in, auctor quis, pulvinar eget, lorem. Curabitur libero augue, feugiat sed, ultricies ut, facilisis non, felis. 

Sed ornare, sem eu sodales elementum, sem sem molestie lectus, non pellentesque risus lacus in nisi. Duis eu nisi. Aliquam sed lacus.
