Hello @alexklein, sorry for not informing you about the update. I checked and see that the ticket was created, the fix was made and the component was updated in the marketplace. Could you please check again (need to reinstall the component again) and let us know if everything is fine now? By the way, in the near future we plan to make automatic updating of components, so in the future to update a component you will only need to click one button.

The loss of focus issue is fixed, but a new bug appeared (described in Github). The bug manifests when there are two instances of the component on a page, both using data binding (one set to “read only”). We can get around this by using “paragraph” component to serve as the “read only” component to get the content from the rich editor, but it’s really suboptimal.

The change seems to have introduced some bugs in the component… I’m creating issues in Github to explain how to reproduce.

This component looks great — but documentation is a little lacking. Questions:
1) After install, there is a Codeless block for “Get HTML from Rich Editor”. I’m guessing this is what we can use to save content to the database… but what data type should the column (of the db table used for storage) be? Text? JSON?
2) If this component allows a user to create html, could there be security concerns? Could it leave our site vulnerable to XSS attacks?
3) There are nice options to hide link, video, and image insert buttons. It would be great to have some control over the other buttons/options in the editor menu. Is there a programmatic way to show/hide other items in the editor? If so, please provide info in the documentation.

I spoke too soon… in the latest version, there’s a bug where if data binding is used for “Content”, the editor looses focus as soon as one character is typed. Component is unusable in this way (user has to click into editor for each character they want to type). I added an issue in Github…
