TYPO3 Core

Problems arise when an attempt is made to insert a bookmark, the selection is empty and focus is not in the editing iframe.

Such bookmarks require the creation of a range. Because of the IE8 bug(feature?), the range is incorrect. The bookmarks are used to restore the cursor position when undo/redo operations are performed.

If focus is brought on the editor iframe for the purpose of inserting a bookmark, any opened dialogue window is minimized, which is very annoying.

The same happens when a special character is inserted or when the acronym dialogue window opens (because it may need to create a range to get the current acronym/abbreviation).

The issue does not exist in TYPO3 4.1 because the cursor position restoration feature is not available in that branch. Acronym was not enabled in IE in that branch either.

Committed to SVN TYPO3core branch TYPO3_4-2 (revision 5305) and trunk (revision 5306).
