[SergeyKostrov]

There is a problem with Post Editor related to 'Disable rich-text' and 'Enable rich-text' feature. Take a look at screenshot and it is very easy to reproduce the problem:

- Select a forum

- Select a thread

- Start switching 'Disable rich-text' and 'Enable rich-text' ( do this many times ) and you should see what happens

>>...I could not duplicate this. What browser and O/S are you using? I use three systems with WIndows 7 with IE version 9 ( 1 computer ) and Windows XP ( 2 computers ) with IE version 8. All Microsoft Updates are installed. I'll do another verification on all these systems and report back to you. Thanks, Hal.

>>>>...I could not duplicate this... >> >>... I'll do another verification on all these systems and report back to you... I did several attempts to reproduce that problem in different IDZ Forums on two Windows platforms and using IE9 and IE8. Result? I could Not and it is very strange because there was a problem.

Hi Hal, If I experience that problem again I will report it. So far all my attempts to reproduce it failed.

>>...Hi Hal, If I experience that problem again I will report it. So far all my attempts to reproduce it failed. I finally figured out why it happens and how that issue needs to be reproduced: 1. First of all, for the Toolbox Control displayed in the Editor some time is needed to load it completely 2. If during loading ( let's assume that the control is still Not displayed yet and it is still being loaded ) a user presses Disable rich-text then the controls' internal state will be "Inconsistent" with actual UI state. That is, the Toolbox Control is displayed but Enable rich-text is displayed as well (!) 3. Two Correct states for the control are as follows: Toolbox Control displayed -> Disable rich-text displayed Toolbox Control Not displayed -> Enable rich-text displayed 4. Two Incorrect state for the control are as follows: Toolbox Control displayed -> Enable rich-text displayed - Note: This is what we're talking about (!) Toolbox Control Not displayed -> Disable rich-text displayed It is very hard to reproduce the problem with a high-speed Internet connection and you need to slow down the loading of web-pages by launching 20, 30, or even more Internet Explorers with some another web-pages and then to open some IDZ thread and, for example, to start editing some post. Here are my recommendation for IDZ web-developers: Do not display Disable rich-text web-link or set it Disabled until Toolbox Control is loaded completely. As soon as Toolbox Control is loaded completely then display Disable rich-text web-link or set it Enabled.
