Public bug reported:
version = 2017092609;
series = '17.10';
release = '17.10.1';
minupgradefrom = 2015030409;
minupgraderelease = '15.04.0 (release tag 15.04.0_RELEASE)';
Processing hang occurs when saving content pasted from Google Docs or
external source
Details:
Where does this happen?
When adding content in a portfolio
What happens?
Clicking on "Save" button shows "Processing..." but hangs (403) when
pre-formatted content pasted from an external source, i.e. Google Docs, Gmail,
Microsoft Word (less often), etc.
Observations:
- Noticed that this will especially happen when span tags are copied from the
origin.
Workarounds:
- Paste as unformatted text, and make formatting changes from within Mahara.
Other comments:
Previously, users have been able to do this without issues. If they are to make
simple edits to content that originated from an external source like Google,
they risk not being able to save their changes. Their only workaround is to
copy and paste into a new content area (like mentioned in the workaround). The
existing content, while can be displayed, may not be edited successfully.
