TYPO3 Core

Which version of RTEhtmlarea and TYPO3 are you using? Are you using a TER version or the system extension delivered with the TYPO3 Core?

Sorry, forgot the technical details:
Runs under typo3 4.04 with the system extension.

I cannot reproduce this behaviour with latest trunk. Do you still encounter this issue?

I can confirm the issue for Firefox 3.0.3 / Windows with:

TYPO3 4.1.7, HTMLArea 1.5.6
TYPO3 4.2.1, HTMLArea 1.7.5

To reproduce the error:

- Put any URL into the Clipboard
- Open a text element, type some text and paste the URL to the editor
- In 1.7.5, due to the behaviour that the pasted URL is not automatically transformed into a linked element, use the link wizard to link the text to the pasted URL
- Place the cursor somewhere in the Linktext and add / remove some chars.

The RTE will freeze. After a few seconds, Firefox claims that there is a misbehaving script and asks if it should be stopped.

The script is /typo3temp/rtehtmlarea_htmlarea_[hash]-compressed.js:1

or, uncompressed:
/typo3temp/rtehtmlarea_htmlarea_[hash].js:769 (1.5.6)
/typo3temp/rtehtmlarea/htmlarea_[hash].js:945 (1.7.5)

Funny thing is, I added an alert(callbackFunc); in Line 945 - there is no alert, but just the crash. Strange.

TYPO3 4.2.2, HTMLArea 1.7.6 has the same bug.

Strange. There must be some other condition because I cannot reproduce this issue with FF3.0.3 and TYPO3 4.2.2.

ok. I was able to repoduce this. It seems to happen if you hold a key down within a link for sometime.

Please try the attached patch for branch TYPO3_4-2 or trunk.

Note: After applying the patch, you need to delete all files from directory typo3temp/rtehtmlarea and clear the browser cache.

Committed to SVN TYPO3core branch TYPO3_4-2 (revision 4344) and trunk (revision 4345).
