Re: Save without losing my place?
Just a quick note that the latest 4.7dev has a floating ‘Save’ button in Hive themes, and no autosize in Classic theme. This should negate any problems with having to scroll up/down the page to save an article mid-edit.

It looks like some layout problem was introduced in a recent commit: the browser (FF53 W7) looses Undo option (in Body and Excerpt) on async article save.

You mean you cannot undo what you just typed after saving the article ?
If so, that works fine here with Safari 10 and Firefox 55 and 52ESR.
EDIT: hold on, I should amend that.
- it works fine if I use the
rah_knotsextension, then the keyboard shortcut (cmd+z) to undo or use theedit menu > undoor the context menu (thetextareais the element with focus). - it fails if (after typing) I use the mouse and press the
Savebutton then either press the undo keyboard shortcut or use the Edit menu (textarealooses focus). - it works when, after saving and pressing the
Savebutton, I use the context menu inside the textarea (textarearegains focus as I click in it).
No idea if this is the normal Firefox behaviour or not, or if anything changed recently as I actually never use Firefox except for testing purposes.

Re: Save without losing my place?
I mean undo after save (your point 2). Don’t know if it’s a FF or jQuery bug, but if I replace the surrounding <span class="author"> with <div class="author"> in article_partial_author, it works again. Phil, is it ok this way?

Re: Save without losing my place?
Yes that is ok, both div and span have no semantic value so it’s ok to have empty containers of either of those.

FWIW, that never worked on Firefox Mac (txp4.6 and a 4.7-dev from before the commit you allude to. Patching an up-to-date 4.7-dev the way you suggest doesn’t make it work.
(Undo after saving does work in all situations with Safari and Opera (Blink)).
PS – <div /> is marginally “better“ in this case given its default rendering as a block.

OK, the latest commit changes that span to a div. Let us know if that solves the issue.

I think that’s the typical (MacOS) behaviour in every application: Only the field that has focus is the one whose contents you can undo/redo. It should undo/redo again when the field in question re-gains focus.

Nope, not in this case – Safari and Opera (Blink I assume Chrome does the same) can undo the whole time (all 3 different bullet points in my list, but particularly point 2). In Safari at least, the Undo stack applies to window context.

When creating a new article and saving, the author block is not displayed (it works fine when editing a older article, coming from the Articles panel.
I think you forgot one part: you need to change the selector line on line 428

Right that fixes the issue I was fluffing above.
No idea if that makes Olegs undo problem work though (it doesn’t seem to work on win 10 / Firefox 55 here, but what-do-i-know I’m not a Windows user)
