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)……
Helene, Just a bit more info for your grey cells!
(In English, the bottom bar is called the "Edit Mode Toolbar" and the
edit-mode-tabs open each edit-mode's tab-window.)

As you can see, I'm not getting your problem on Linux-64bit running the
explosive-developmental nightly SM-2.4a1 on Intel iron, and I can't say
I've run into it over the past few years, during my usage of the
developmental-versions of previous 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, so I'm wondering if
your specific platform/SeaMonkey-version has something to do with your
problem?
Sorry to be no help otherwise. Barry.
It seems that the developers 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
