Bugs in the ointment, flies in the soup

huge time wasters in the new code.

1. You can't select all of a text field and make it BOLD. You have to select in segments.

2. You can't set the colors easily any more.  Select text - set the color.    Select different field of text - try to make it the same color.  Your color shows up (example #ffffff) BUT you can't select the defined color.  You have to choose some other preset then go back into the text color selector -> and then re-re-re-re-re-enter the desired color.

YES I know I could set the text color in the theme - however with the photo backgrounds you have to be able to easily adjust for what works over the image.

3. Custom HTML - the Custom HTML menu box never goes away - so as you're tying in your code - you can't see it!

4. HUGE refresh delays on every little change - move a box, the page has to reload.   accidentally touch the footer and you have to resave it (even without doing anything to change it).

5. Why do you have to have a theme style blank box on every bloody page?  If You add a photo/video background to a page - the system forces in a blank format box below it .  You can't delete it - you can't really 'move' it (non functional function).

What - you guys hire unemployed microsoft front page developers?  Too much code - not enough testing.  DO NOT just comment out bad code --it still has to load into the interface (it's just hidden).  From a coder of the old days - html ways - this upgrade leaves a lot to be desired in "not ready for prime time"

shamiana, what you're describing is not problems with the code, it seems like issues particular to your browser, device,

and/or connection. But let's troubleshoot just to make sure.

• What browser are you editing on? (Firefox, Safari, Chrome, etc.) What other browsers have you tried to edit on since?
• What internet connection are you on? (Home, work, university, etc.) Are there any firewalls or antivirus programs there, and have you attempted your edits after disabling them?
• What devices are you accessing the editor with? (Desktop, laptop, mobile app, etc.) Have you tried any other device and do you see the same behavior?

If you're still having trouble diagnosing after all that, please file a support ticket. It will be helpful if you can attach a video, and you can follow the steps as described at this link to do that.

Evening - wish the system sent a notice that a reply came in. 

Anyway -

Firefox (latest).   Chrome Latest.

Home network - multi reduntant connections

PC - Win 7

and have you looked at the linking ?   input text, link it to a website - hit enter for a new line - type new text - the link continues. ABOVE AND BELOW.

Yes I come across that annoying bug where you create a hyper link and if you type text underneath the link or next to the link it still sometimes attaches it as part of the same link. 

The Strange Double Spacing that occurs when you resize the fonts was another interesting

one as well.

ELEMENT PICTURE/TEXT OVERLAY BUG When dropping text next to a picture and if you don't drop it down in the correct spot where the text verticle cursor appears then the divider bar element will not show up both overlaying the pic and text on top of each other instead.  The only way to fix that is to delete it and reinsert it again and drop it down in the correct place.  But the way to fix the code is to tell the code if the user drops the text down and its dropped in the wrong place,

and not at the cursor's then don't insert the text and only allow it to be inserted if its dropped

down at the correct location.

Another bug in the code is when uploading a picture, another image overlay error, when the image 'upload image' remains still stuck up on the screen in the editor even though you can see your pic had been uploaded, the ''Upload Image' just shoves itself down underneath your image. It was supposed to delete the upload image and replace it with your own image that you just uploaded, but if the sever is being held up or is slow, it dosen't always delete that text upload message

but what happens is that it overlays it on top of the image instead.  Only way I know to get rid of it is to delete the element and reupload it again.

Another bug in the code is when going to the color picker and instead of it being white, you find the white color is actually a faint light grey making it hard to see.  And find when you get to the color picker, you find the mouse is not even responding to the code you can't move the cursor over to pick the color that you want, and its on d5d5d5 instead of FFFFFF for white which is the wrong color code..  So Weebly not only got the code wrong, they also disabled the mouse for the color picker.   That force you to have to manually type in the color code and take a guess since you can't use the mouse to pick the color you want from the pallette anyway.
