Hi. Have you installed the latest version of Firefox? It should be fixed automatically. Try to reinstall it. Hope it works.

Hi SImone and Bob,

I experience the same problem on FF 3.6.8 on mac. Filling the td is IMO more important than resizing it, i'll look how to disable these FF "feature".. if there is a way to disable it without editing the source it would be great ! Reinstalling firefox is not usable solution for a large userbase, but thanks for the tip Bob !

I have same problem with 3.6.12 win 7 64 and I'm not going to try reinstall since there is no more information what is actually broken in installation if thats the reason. For now I fixed it by modifying wymeditor so that table generator adds default content to cells which seems to fix this.
Changed

Code: Select all

for(y=0; y<iCols; y++) {newRow.insertCell(y);}


to

Code: Select all

for(y=0; y<iCols; y++) {
            var newCell = newRow.insertCell(y);
            var newText  = document.createTextNode('-');
                           newCell.appendChild(newText);
}

Had the same problem. I tried the above fix by Taffa and didn't like having text that had to be deleted, so I tweaked it.

for(y=0; y<iCols; y++) {
                     var newCell = newRow.insertCell(y);
                     if(jQuery.browser.mozilla){
                        newCell.innerHTML = '<br _moz_editor_bogus_node="TRUE" style="display:table-cell;" _moz_dirty="">';
                        }
                     }

The problem seems to only be in Firefox, so I filtered the fix. It seems that the problem is with Firefox's editable iFrames, so I have the WYMeditor adding a break (classified as being one of Mozilla's _moz_editor_bogus_nodes) into each cell with styling to stop the line break. This fixes the problem and because it is a bogus node, the break doesn't get saved when submitting the field.
