File Manager: Text editor refresh not working

[Abasz]

Recently I noticed that in case I try to refresh the opened file in the file editor (from the dropdown) it breaks.

After that I am not able to open a file with the editor until I enter localstorage.Clear()

Below is a video I made with the error:

ScreenCast

I am behind proxypass accessing webmin via https://IP/webmin/

I don't think it's the theme issue.

Try disabling ADB and other extensions.

I have it working fine, take a look at the video-screencast.

A note. Did you try to hit Alt when the dropdown menu in editor is opened to see what happens? 😃

[Abasz]

This is not a big issue, I do not know the error behind. disabling ADB does not help.

I never tried before (but now I have :)) but what should happen when you press Alt? (the only change I can see is that the window layout of the editors may be change, however, if I press Alt once and I release I need to close and reopen the drop down to work again)

[iliajie]

I can't reproduce your issue. You saw the video-screencast.

What do you think could cause it?

In case you're in the file editor in File Manager, when you click on the dropdown menu and it stays open, try hitting Alt key to see that menu content will change letting you choose to align panels differently.

..also try incognito mode..

[Abasz]

Hi, Alt key works as expected in this regard (i.e. I can choose to align )

I was trying to the a breakpoint debug (to find out where things go wrong) but to be honest I was not able to find the related javascript part (I fudn the ). If you could point me to the direction where the related script is I will try to find out more.

[iliajie]

Do you see errors in the console?

[Abasz]

No I dont. I think this would not create a console error since text is loaded but the wrong one (part of the page Html code is loaded). So it seems that instead of text area the first lines of the html file is read into the panel

What is your browser and OS (server and client)?

[Abasz]

OS server: Ubuntu server 16.04
OS Client: Win10
Browser: latest chrome

[iliajie]

Okay, what kind of error page is that? It's error page loaded? What does it say at the bottom of the screen?

[Abasz]

I found the problem... It is actually very funny :)

the issue is that I use a webmin user name that does not exist on my system. If I change to username to e.g. root it works.

So I can create a unix user for my current webmin username, or I can change the current webmin user name to something that does exist on the system. This may be easier than changing the code around.

[Abasz]

Or, off course the code may be changed :)

[iliajie]

That's really cool. 😆 I reproduced it.. Let's see what I should do.

[iliajie]

Fixed, give it a try.

[Abasz]

Nice one, seems working correctly. Thanks
