I don’t know what’s up with that line jump. I’m seeing it too. Reporting it.
As for the slowness, yeah, this editor is “way more involved” than the other one. So it takes more to download. That said, there’s a ninja way we can make it speed up by combining together the javascript files into one but we had to turn it off briefly because it was causing an unexpected issue. Still, it helped a -lot- with load time.
Pressing the link to message in email notification is acting different but still weird. Now i’m thrown to the middle of the thread, but not to the message in the link.
And after reply i’m thrown in that place too, not to the message i have posted. So it’s not working again. It looks like 4 page, but page number is not bolded.
I took a look into the editors source code…the page does include more than 100 JavaScript files! Not counted other files like style scripts, images, etc!! wtf?!!?! With normal browser settings a browser does only load up to 4 files at once per domain!
Also this 100 files do use usual code formating and comments. You can do MUCH speed up when removing all comments and unnecessary whitespaces. You can save approx. 40% of files size with that! Also you could automatically rename variables and method names. Who needs a name like “getSelectionRangeText”, when it could be something like “a6fb”. With that you can save again some 20-30%. The code does not need to be human readable in a production enviroment. There are some scripts out there which do that, you just need to apply them before deploying the website.
By 10 seconds googling, I found an simple online compressor: http://www.creativyst.com/Prod/3/
I tried with your utils.js, it can save 3283 from 7704 bytes, only in this single file. And you will notice, this compressor does not rename any names. You could save more here…
Coolcat, will pass those tips onto the dev team. I know there was some work being done on compressing those. I’m not entirely sure where that went.
wroot, passing your note about the notification reply. I’m seeing my own odd behaviors that might be related.
Coolcat, turns out we -do- do that compression, it’s just turned off at the moment due to a bug. =)
Anyone who is experiencing the “weird pagination” (page not bolded, etc, starts on wrong part of thread on reply, etc) … if you can, please get a screenshot of what you are seeing and/or a copy of the html source (view -> source). Thanks!

And you probably already know that Watch a tag widget has a bug. It shows “Content tagged with **tag?html” instead
** of… aargh… i’m just tired to fight with that RTE… it’s HORRIBLE! cursor jumps around as it want, i cant change style of text (doesnt remove bolding in that case)… and it loads forever… sick

FullACK!
You said the problem is that RTE generates HTML-code? Why not let the RTE let generate Wiki-markup? So everyone could use RTE or the normal editor. From that Wiki-markup you could easily generate HTML-Code.
We used to have the RTE convert to wiki syntax, but that whole system created tons of problems. In order to fully fix them, we’d basically have to re-create HTML in wiki syntax. I posted a few more details about it in a blog:

Hey guys, first off, thanks a ton for the screenshots and source! Passing that back to the devs.
As for the RTE, I know what you mean about it jumping around and such. Flash back a couple of weeks ago, I could not have possibly been more pleased with the RTE. In the process of fixing other issues I think it’s gotten a little flaky here and there. Now, a number of things have been updated with it recently and I just updated Clearspace to the latest a moment ago, so please let me know if the RTE is still causing you pain. I’ll make sure to keep on the devs about making sure it runs smooth. I know it’s possible for this to be wonderful — like I said, couple of weeks ago it was glorious! I think it’s just suffering from some mid-bug fixing waffling. =)
Thanks as always for y’alls help reporting bugs! Y’alls help has been invaluable!
(ps i didn’t know about the watch a tag issue, reporting it too!)
WHAAHA!! This stupid RTE has dropped half of my post…I wrote 10minutes on that…don’t want to restore that now…
I can’t really do anything with that info. Can you describe the circumstances around when the RTE dropped half of your post?
I can’t really do anything with that info.
I know that . Just wanted to vent my anger somewhere…
Browser: Firefox 3.0.1 / Linux
I can’t exaclty reproce it, so it is very unlikely that you will find this. However, I had two quote blocks, each with a bit text below it. The first quote block and the text below was dropped. Inside the dropped text I used some italic font for filenames.
Can you describe what it “looked like” when it erased half your stuff? like were you looking at it and you started typing something and then clicked italic and half of it went away? Something along those lines?
It was dropped after I clicked on “Post Message”, I noticed it frist when I saw my posting in the thread…
If somethings went’s wrong while editing, you can simply press Ctrl+Z (Undo).
I see that in recent activity comments on Blogs and Documents are shown on the list. Why not showing Polls comments? Also in this widget there could be an option to select which activities i want to see (created, replied, status updates, comments, blogs, docs, etc.)

What the … after you clicked post?! I’ve never seen/heard that before! Has it happened more than once?
wroot, good ideas, lemme relay those.
Btw, it seems that only this thread acts weird when i press the link in email notification. “Spark features” thread’s notification just took me right to the last comment, though it hasnt bolded the last page number.
Hm, as i have posted about comments in polls not showing up, they have started to show up in my recent activity

Yeah. I’m still figuring out how to make my View more comfortable. I want to get a lot of info, but i want it to be compact. What i like in Recent Activity is that i get comments on Docks, Blogs and Polls in there. But i dont like to see all 10 replies to one post on the same page. Then Recent Content is more suitable, as it shows only updated content. So it will show only the last reply of the particular thread. Also it shows the location of the thread (i dont usually read Dev forums, and i cant choose what forums to watch now), and it shows author icons (if i choose layout with wiser column for that widget) and the age of that update. So now i’m switching to Recent Content. But maybe i would leave Recent Activity on my View if i could customize what to show in that widget.
