4.12.18

🚀 New Feature

• Drag and drop element: added a startDragElement event so another plugin can begin dragging a specific element programmatically — e.g. from a dedicated drag handle/anchor shown next to a block. Fire editor.e.fire('startDragElement', element, mouseEvent); the element does not need to be listed in draggableTags (the listener is registered even when that list is empty), so handles can move elements such as <pre> code blocks that are not auto-draggable.

🐛 Bug Fix

• Formatting / Selection: toggling Bold/Italic/Underline (etc.) on a collapsed cursor and then clicking in the editor lost one or more of the pending formats. The click placed the caret just before the empty marker elements, so clean-html removed them. The caret is now moved back into the innermost pending marker on click, and clean-html keeps empty inline elements that hold the live caret, so the next typed character keeps every format. Fixes #1291.
• History / Enter: pressing Enter while a selection was active (e.g. Ctrl+A then Enter) required two Ctrl+Z presses to undo — the first only reverted to an intermediate empty state. The delete-of-selection and the new block are now a single history transaction, so one undo restores the original content. Fixes #1292.
• Security / Config (prototype pollution): Jodit.configure() — and the internal ConfigMerge/ConfigProto helpers — merged user-supplied options without filtering prototype-mutating keys, so a payload nested under an existing plain-object option such as controls (e.g. {"controls":{"__proto__":{"polluted":"yes"}}}) could reach and mutate Object.prototype (CWE-1321). Merging now rejects __proto__, constructor, and prototype at every nesting level. Responsibly reported by Junming Wu (Dremig).

💅 Polish

• Drag and drop element: dropping a non-editable block (e.g. a <pre> code sample) no longer leaves an invisible filler text node () next to it. Previously this stray node showed up as an extra empty line until clean-html removed it later; it is now stripped in onDrop right after insertion.
