Item2605: Unable to position cursor into an empty bullet list item

Priority:	CurrentState:	AppliesTo:	Component:	WaitingFor:
Normal	Closed	Extension	TinyMCEPlugin

Example:

• Some
• Text

So this looks like a moxiecode bug.(as opposed to foswiki customisation)

Sourceforge bug here

Does this happen for empty items in the middle of a list?

• a
• b

The empty item is not visible

Options:

• WysiwygPlugin populates empty bullet items with &nsbp; in TML2HTML
• ???

Vanilla TinyMCE test

Try this on http://trunk.foswiki.org/Tasks/Item2605 to get TinyMCE 3.2.7:

<p>Unformatted text.</p><ul><li>a</li><li>b</li><li></li><li> </li></ul><p/><p>A new experiment: </p><ul><li>Stuff</li><li>Next, moz_dirty br...</li><li><br _moz_dirty="" type="_moz"/></li></ul>

This uses latest moxiecode trunk from https://tinymce.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/tinymce/tinymce/trunk

Same behaviour confirmed.

• Set NOWYSIWYG = 0
• Set TINYMCEPLUGIN_DISABLE = 0

I added a   to empty list items. Fixed on trunk.
