It is an known issue. I have a solution for it but have not implemented
it yet. Solution would be to dynamically add a string such as "Click to
edit" to an empty element. String would be configurable. This way you
have something to click even if element was empty.
Any other ideas are welcome too.
What I've done is style the empty div on the callback with css, so it has a
dotted line border and a minimum width. This creates a clickable area and
makes it apparent that there is something there for the user to click on
By the way great plugin Mika. I'm using it extensively on an in-house
application.

Obviously it would be trivial for me to just edit the plugin, but I try
to avoid that as much as possible (makes upgrading a nightmare), and
this seems like a legitimate issue. If you try one of the jEditable
demos and remove all of the text and save it, you won't be able to
select it again since the field div has no size when it's empty.
