Wordcount plugin does not update the char counter on afterPage event

[iliasmertzanos]

Hi guys,

great job you have done!

I am having an issue with events in regard to wordcount plugin.

I am trying to catch the afterPaste event (ctrl+V) but at that moment the counter evt.editor.wordcount.charCount is empty.

I tried to set a timeout, so that the read of the worcount value waits a bit and it works.
That means somehow wordcount is updating his content at some point later.

Is there any specific Event from the wordcount plugin ?

Yes you need to set the the same timeout 100 as the plugin does.

CKEDITOR.instances.editor1.on('afterPaste', function (event) { console.log(event.editor.wordCount.charCount) }, null,null,100);

this should work

If I am getting this right there should be en event that we can bind without using timeouts. Timeouts can bring all lot of problems.
So the question is whats the problem ? Is this a bug in CKEditor or in Wordcount?

I thinks this is a misunderstand. The Value 100 is not a timeout event. its the execution priority...

The listener priority. Lower priority listeners are called first. Listeners with the same priority value are called in registration order.

If the value 100 is a problem for you i could remove it.

Oh ok now I get it. But still I would expect that afterPaste should catch the right result from wordcount.
So I would say somehow there is a bug in CKEditor. Why would you need the priority if it would function correctly?

[w8tcha]

Why is this a bug i dont unterstand. The default value is 10. i set it to 100 to make sure that the events of the editor are executed before the content is filtered. Otherwise its possible that the counting is wrong
