CKeditor problems with simple cache
By advatera
We had several issues with CKeditor:
- Extremly slow when simple cache deactivated (of course, site is slower then by default - but there was a significant difference when we turned off CKeditor)
- Not always working when simple cache activated (very often the editor loaded but people could not edit content - simply the field was frozen)
- Complaints came from users with all different types of browsers (including Firefox, IE 10, Edge, Chrome)
- We investigated several hours (including with a clean theme but on the same installation); also had professional devs (with elgg experience) investigating
I just thought would be good having that issue mentioned - if somebody has the same issue, and maybe a solution, let me know.
For now we switched to Extended TinyMCE and it works fine (https://elgg.org/plugins/782028)
Cheers

Before using: flush the caches
When you say "clean theme" do you mean no 3rd-party plugins or themes?
This should be reported to https://github.com/Elgg/Elgg/issues with as much detail as possible.
3rd-party plugins and themes turned off
of course, cache flushed several times; although we might have forgotten to turn of cache before upgrading (which we did some weeks ago; normally we do so but I have the feeling that we forgot).
Well, what should I report when I have no clue where the problem lies :-)
We might investigate again, but currently decided to go wiht TinyMCE and focus on other things...
I just thought, if we report at least here somebody with the same issue might find it and add to it.
Report the Elgg, PHP, and web server versions. I get the hesitation, but a bug is a bug and core devs should get a crack at it, or at least track awareness of it. You can always make a community post to spread awareness, too.
