Hi there,
I test-installed v.2.1 yesterday, but was completely unable to use the Composer
mode (in
Wysiwyg) - the Code page is OK ;)
My problem is I mainly use Seamonkey as HTML-editor : it's simple, produces
clean HTML and has
both WYSIWIG and CODE modes… well : it had !!
And the possibility to instantly test the modifications without changing
program was a +
But now, I cannot edit pages at all :
* tags in the bottom bar don't seem to function correctly anymore, to select,
unselect, change
name or add property - once you have selected one, you cannot change it
anymore, and it is
almost impossible to click in another place in the page :(
I'll admit that I've not used Composer for quite some time. However,
when I go to http://www.seamonkey-project.org/ and use File|Edit Page
I can see the page w/o issue in Normal/HTML Tags/<HTML>Source/Preview.
I've no problems modifying the page in Normal. Just for grins I did a
Find& Replace, replacing SeaMonkey with Firefox& that worked just fine.
Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20110608
Firefox/4.0.1 SeaMonkey/2.1
Yes, what you did, I can do too, because there is no complicated intricated TABLE structure on
THAT page…
now try on http:www.mozillazine.org and try to select a cell of the center table, using the
TAGS at the buttom of the window, or insert a cell between the two, or add a line… if it really
works for you, then, it's probably a config. problem, but it DOES NOT for me (either on MAC or
on PC)……
It seems that the developpers had a lot of work on the "Surfing" abilities, but
completely let
out the "Editing" abilities - pity !!
It seems that you might have check to see if others experience the same
before chastising the (sic) developpers... pity.
As a matter of fact, I asked on IRC and the NG : few people there seem to use Composer, which is
also a pity, because it IS (well, WAS) the EASIEST, LIGHTEST, FASTEST simple and powerful HTML
editor I tried (and believe me, I tried dozens) - and I also checked all the "new features" on
the official site about the 2.1 issue, and saw nothing about Composer, only better browins
abilities...
And, today, I tested the Composer at the office, on PC (Windows 7) - I got EXACTLY the same
problem...
So, my question is : what happened ? It's not a matter of configuration : I made a clean install
on a separate partition and test session, downloaded the page I wanted to edit, and had THE SAME
PROBLEM, over and over again… is there a Composer specialist I could try and contact to try and
see what happens…
On http://www.seamonkey-project.org/doc/features#composer is written "SeaMonkey's powerful yet
simple HTML editor keeps getting better with dynamic image and table resizing, quick insert and
delete of table cells, improved CSS support, and support for positioned layers. For all your
documents and website projects, Composer is all you need."
That is precisely what does not work anymore : TABLE manipulation, and manipulating TAGS (I
don't know the english name) in the bottom of the "normal" window.
so, I can only call it a "regression" at best, a catastrophe to me who edits dozens of pages a
day through this tool, and cannot use it anymore (it is a work tool for me, at my job, so I feel
really concerned)…
I did not mean that developpers did not work well, only that they priviledged the "surfing"
functions at the detriment of "editing" functions, which, to me, are the ONLY ONES that matter
(I use Firefox for JUST surfing, I use SEAMONKEY when I need to edit the pages I surf - intranet
at work)
Where can I get HELP, please ?
Helene
