Browser effected:
Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.1106IS on Windows 98 (reproduced 11-Nov-05)
(similar error on) Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180 ... on Windows XP SP2
Safari on Mac OS X 10.3.7
Opera (Windows? version?)
Can't reproduce with Firefox/Linux, nor with Opera9rc/Linux.
This bug was deleted, but I can still reproducte the problem.
(I've re-attached todays bug report. Do we really just delete pages when the bug is fixed? I would have guessed that it would have been moved to a "Fixed" or "can't reproduce" locattion.)
It happens when trying to access the GUI editor from Safari which is not supported by that editor. All the text is converted to html in side the simple editor, then the converter fail when trying to preview.
The correct behavior in this case is not to show the Edit(GUI) button on Safari, and showing an error when you try to access the gui editor url and the browser does not support the needed javascript.
The bug is not that "source click preview is broken", but that it offers you the gui editor. This bug is known and described at another place. It is rather pointless trying to work with a broken thing and produce more bugs.
TBD: place link here to cross-reference the bug report to the bug report and documentation where Internet Explorer doesn't support GUI editing.
