Functionality report Firefox and Chrome

[Oremountainflorian]

Edited, bold notes by JM

Motivated by the issue and @JohnMcLear answer it wanted to write an report!

Still left to do:

• Drag and drop shouldn't create duplicates
• The cursor always moves to the left of the image while clicking the image. #8

Details

OS: Win 8.1
Browser: Firefox 75.0
Testpad: https://board.net/ (I suppose they have ep_copy_paste_images as well as ep_image_upload installed)

Drag and Drop inside Pad

• Drag and Drop onto a blank line Works (image is copied so we have it twice) - confirmed, will fix today
• Drag and drop onto content with a line doesn't work (neither left nor right nor in beetween) ** - it puts it on the prior line**

Copy to clipboard/ Paste (using control c / v) inside Pad

• Paste onto a blank line doesn't work
• Paste onto a line populated with content doesn't work
• right click copy/paste doesn't work - confirmed, due to The cursor always moves to the left of the image while clicking the image. #8

Cut to clipboard/ Paste (using control x / v)

• Paste onto a blank line doesn't work
• Paste onto a line populated with content doesn't work
• right click cut/paste doesn't work

Image appearance

• Image is never distorted correct
• Image has correct color balance correct

Alignment

• Image can be aligned using ep_align no statement possible

Resize

• Can resize the image yes, using tab (resize smaller) or shift+tab (resize larger until original size is reached) when the cursor is left of the image ** I love this hack but I don't think it's suitable as it's not a clear UX, still, I can't fault you 👯 **

Browser Resize

• Can still nagivate the page yes
• Images can be moved / selected / resized
  • select Image can never be selected by tipping it, but it can be selected by dragging the cursor over several lines. But then ctrl+c/ctrl+x works to move it for example to libre office (so it's in the clipboard), but when it's copied to another place in the pad it disappears) - confirmed, due to The cursor always moves to the left of the image while clicking the image. #8
  • resize works with tab/shift+tab like described above

Keyboard

• Caret can be moved between images yes, but when we have 2 images and the caret is in beetween these two, delete doesn't delete the respective line but rather the image below - confirmed, due to The cursor always moves to the left of the image while clicking the image. #8
• Backspace deletes an image when caret is placed after the image not possible, because caret/cursor always jumps to the left - confirmed, due to The cursor always moves to the left of the image while clicking the image. #8
• Delete removes an image when caret is placed before the image yes
• Backspace doesn't deletes an image when caret is placed before the image - - confirmed, due to The cursor always moves to the left of the image while clicking the image. #8

Further observations

• when I delete an image, it can be restored with ctrl+z (doesn't work with ep_copy_paste_images)
• being in line below and Backspace doesn't delete the image but rather jumps to the left of the image - confirmed, due to The cursor always moves to the left of the image while clicking the image. #8
• when image is in the last line, it isn't possible to create an new line below. Enter moves the image below to the new line. Moving the cursor to right of the image isn't possbile as it moves directly back left - confirmed, due to The cursor always moves to the left of the image while clicking the image. #8
• when several images are inside the pad, ctrl+z destorys several and then they can't be restored - ** unable to replicate **

Thanks for the very detailed report! We'll have a look at this and prioritize.
We have 1.5 developers in the organization so it may not get a very high priority.
We welcome all pull reqests!

[loorm]

Triage 23. We will go through the report and create separate Github issues, where we are able to replicate errors. Then these issues will be linked here and will be separately prioritized and solved.

Legally reviewed, no additions.

[JohnMcLear]

I distilled this down to the issues left to resolve as a good majority are now done:

• The cursor always moves to the left of the image while clicking the image. #8
• Drag and drop shouldn't create duplicates (possibly related to Fix 'Local (disk) storage' vs. ''Amazon S3 Storage #18

So TLDR is #8 needs dealing with and this might take a core change which wont be available till 1.8.9 ~March 2021.

@tiblu @ilmartyrk Any update on this re the new EP version?

[ilmartyrk]

@loorm the cursor positioning issue was closed due to unable to fix it in the EP core. Drag and drop needs some investigation

[loorm]

Got it! Assigning for Triage, so you can timebox the investigation.

[anettlinno]

Triage 47. Needs code review and testing. Esti. investigation time 4h. Sending to investigation.

@anettlinno had a look, Seems that drag and drop works in firefox. But in Chrome and Opera it opens image in new tab. When trying to drag and drop image from new tab it adds the url of the image as in my local pc starting with C://... thus not starting upload. I guess that to make this feature work there needs to be extra functionality added for it to work in Chrome and Opera too, Also regarding the resize using tab and shift+tab. This acutally adds or removes indentation. But it doesn't have permanent effect in exported document. It also depends on browser window/screen size. So it kind of visually works for a single user, but for it to really have similar effect on all other users too, it should have changes written into code

[anettlinno]

@ilmartyrk thanks for the update! As it is not urgent thing for users then I would propose to park this issue until we decide if we are going to continue with EP editor or change it to any other.
I´m sending it back to In prep.
