Yup.  It has nothing to do directly with the editor.  It is strictly a bug
in FarCry when using the IE browser (version 6 or 7).  If you try another
browser like FCKEditor the bug is still there.

I actually tested this a couple weeks ago in FarCry 4 Beta where I updated
TinyMCE from 2.01 to 2.08 (FarCry 3 uses TinyMCE v2.01).

In the end I upgraded TinyMCE to 2.07 in FarCry 4 Beta.  I did the update
specifically to get access to a new feature introduced in v2.06 where you
could customize the dropdown list of block types (h1-h6, blockquote, etc).
Technically you could do it in v2.01 but you only had access to a few
selections.

So why didn't I update TinyMCE to 2.08 in FarCry 4 Beta?  Unfortunately I
was finding more bugs in v2.08 than in 2.07.  One in particular that was
really bothering me was the use of blockquote.  When used it would replace
the opening part of the tag with a remark tag.  So instead of <blockquote>
you had <!-- blockquote>.

There are still many things about TinyMCE that really bother me... like
while using non-IE browsers you can't apply classes to images.  Use IE and
it works fine (grr... and no, version 2.08 does not fix that bug either).
Still, FCKEditor's bugs bother me more, so I'm personally sticking with
TinyMCE.

I'm just waiting for the day that someone releases a free full-featured Flex
wysiwyg editor with a flexible API (so we can "Insert" things like HTML
links) so that all of these javascript erros, browser support, and every
other problem we're having goes away.  Any takers? (If you develop one
you'll be my hero :) )
