I just lost half an hour of typing due to this bug, and it's making me crazy! I know, I should just remember not to use Cmd-arrow when using AC, but I've been using that keyboard shortcut since forever - the muscle memory runs deep and I do it a lot. I can't be the only one having this problem! Pretty please take a look at this one? It's really a productivity killer.

In 0.7 there was a clear notice when updates were available. Does 1.x have a similar mechanism to let us know when new versions are out? (we were still on 1.0, and had no idea there were updates).

Note: This upgrade hasn't changed anything re: Not getting an alert when navigating away from a page with a textarea in Firefox/Mac.

However, the layout in Safari looks great now! Thanks.

Version information is listed in the bottom of the Administration page. If you have a version older than v1.0.2 you will not see it. More here.

Note: There is a problem on some specific setups. If you are sure that you have upgraded and system still does not display the version number you will need to delete all the files from /compile directory to force Smarty to rebuild them.

Where do I find this (would be good to include at the bottom of the page in the Admin section of AC, or in a version.txt in the distribution).

Thanks,
Scot

Can you please specify your problems with layout and your activecollab version.

Thanks

Whether I hit Cmd-left/right arrow (which I do often) or Cmd-W to close the window, (which I never do accidentally) I lose my place and all the text I've typed in so far.

Comparing to Safari now... In Safari you don't get the visual editor, so this problem doesn't apply. However when I hit Cmd-W in Safari I DO get that popup dialog.

Note that AC could use some Safari testing - layout in general is pretty whacky in Safari.

Feature you are suggesting is already built into activeCollab. You don't get "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?" confirmation dialog when leaving a form without saving the changes?

If using the visual editor in WP and you hit one of these keys, it blocks on a javascript popup dialog asking "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page? All changes will be lost." I'd recommend looking into a solution like that.

Browsers have strange implementations of visual editors (they are actually editable web pages inside of other web pages). For instance, WYMeditor suffers from the same issue. Visit their demo page here:

http://demo.wymeditor.org/

And select version 0.4. Hit Cmd + Left...

Possible solution is to disable visual editor in your profile? Without visual editor you can use basic HTML (a, b, i, del, span etc) for formatting and activeCollab will preserve break lines for you.

It just happened again, but this time with cmd-forward. I just can't seem to train my fingers to stop doing that - I've been editing text that way for years.

Interesting - it doesn't happen on the textarea fields on this forum - only in AC itself.
