Table in Rich Text Editor with Content shows second toolbar when clicking in table

[TomDaria]

I am on Umbraco version 7.11.1 and I am using the Rich Text Editor (RTE).
If I have alot of text in my RTE and then add a table above the content, I see a second menu that bleeds into the cells (see attached).
I notified Umbraco and they said it is a bug and that the only workaround is to scroll up and down until the second toolbar goes away.

In addition to the above, after scrolling, which moves the second toolbar down, when you start typing in any cell the toolbar jumps back up again and you can't see what you are typing in.

This is a feature to help with editing tables (documented at tinymce here: https://www.tiny.cloud/docs/plugins/table/#table_toolbar)

However in the grid, it seems to be placed wrong, on top of the table instead of under it, it's supposed to look like this:

So hopefully a fairly simple CSS update can fix this.

As a simple hack for now, in ~\Umbraco\Views\propertyeditors\grid\grid.html I've added the following under line 1 (so under <div ng-controller="Umbraco.PropertyEditors.GridController"):

<style type="text/css">
    .mce-tinymce-inline { margin-top:32px; }
</style>

And that seems to help.

This issue also occurs in umbraco version 8.

Here is an example using v8.5.4

Sure, we'd love some help getting this fixed in v7 and v8!

Hey there,

Wanted to drop you a message to let you know that I'm closing this issue - while it is still an issue in the latest release, it has been labelled up-for-grabs for almost a year and hasn't been picked up by contributors.

In the meantime, take a look at the workaround above as detailed by Seb if this issue is still causing you trouble.
