ckeditor: Can't Select Text in Android Editor

[miqrogroove]

The 1.7.13 news editor does not allow text highlighting in Chrome for Android. I can long-tap and it will give me a gray background on a single word with some kind of scripted context menu, but for editing sentences or links this is useless.

Not familiar with which editor package is included here. Maybe you can help pass along this concern.

In the meantime, I will switch to Chrome for Windows.

We use ckeditor 4.

There is now ckeditor 5.

Maybe this is better on android?

[miqrogroove]

The v4 demo is even worse than on my own site. Definitely an upstream bug.

[miqrogroove]

The v5 demo works much better for me.

Any plans to include that new package?

Any plans to include that new package?

Until one hour ago, I did not know that it existed.

I will investigate....

ckeditor5 does not support IE11.

[magicsunday]

Is IE11 support still necessary?

[fisharebest]

IE11 still has over 2% market share.

We are currently using the definition >0.1% and not dead (see package.json) in the build script (see webpack.mix.js).

[miqrogroove]

And how much market share does Android have?

[fisharebest]

ckEditor5 does not support the view/edit HTML option.

This means that it is impossible to do many things.
For example, image maps (I use these on my own site).

See ckeditor/ckeditor5#592

There is this comment in the migration guide:

An extremely important aspect to be remembered is that — because of the difference in features — the data produced with CKEditor 4 may not be compatible with CKEditor 5 (which may lead to data loss).
