Item3995: NatEditContrib: Incompatibility with TWiki:Plugins/SectionalEditPlugin

TWiki:Plugins/NatEditContrib causes problems when used together with TWiki:Plugins/SectionalEditPlugin. It resizes the edittext-area incorrectly (especially with long pages = many sections), sometimes the textarea height is less than one line (e.g. 5px). TWiki:Plugins/NatEditContrib inserts inline style into the textarea, so this cannot be overridden by typical rows -setting with arrows under edittext-area (at least in Firefox).

Temporary fix is to override TWiki:Plugins/NatEditContrib template javascript in editsection.skin.tmpl , and use templatescript -definition from edit.skin.tmpl .

This fix doesn't change anything for me. I am on T4.1.2, I modified my editsection.pattern.tmpl and editsection.natedit.tmpl file with code from my edit.tmpl (my edit.pattern.tmpl doesn't have a 'templatescript' variable, just a 'templatejavascript' variable.

Since editsection.natedit.tmpl doesn't have the templatescript variable, does it go at the top of the file?

There's a new plugin called EditChapterPlugin that is a rewrite from SectionalEditPlugin from scratch. This implements a subset of the features of SectionalEditPlugin, but with NatEditContrib, PatternSkin, NatSkin and TWiki-4.2 in mind. So anybody who wants a section editing feature a la mediawiki plus NatEditContrib, go with TWiki:Plugins/EditChapterPlugin.

This bug is recasted to SectionalEditPlugin for that reason.

Use EditChapterPlugin instead. Basically SectionalEditPlugin is unmaintained for quite some time now.
