Roadtest edition issues

neuromodulator

Hello,

 

I'm having a lot of trouble editing a roadtest draft. Images during the edition look of different size and aspect/ratio than from the "outside" after the draft is saved. Sometimes when scaling images with the mouse it scales them just in one direction, sometimes in both. When I checked the HTML the aspect ratio looked alright, so I'm a bit lost on why this is happening. Have anyone experienced anything like this?

 

Thanks!

  • I would suggest you do a forced reload of the draft in your browser as sometimes stale entries in browser cache will cause the draft view not to reflect the latest draft. To do this, navigate to your draft and then hit CTRL+F5. It's saved me from pulling my hair out at times when the draft looked out of date but I was sure I saved some changes to it. Hope it's as simple as that ...

     

    Other than that, there may well be a few subtle HTML bugs - I've encountered times where the editor looked right but the published result did not ... the only solution I had was to author the text outside and then copy-paste into the editor and upload the images manually.

  • As a workaround, I always resize each image.

    After upload, wait until the picture resizes itself and the black squares appear at each corner.

    Resize, it, even if just a little bit.

    It should behave after that.

     

    Save as draft often. It takes care that the image becomes a separate object on server side instead of a big chunk of binary data in the html.

  • I didn't try to clear the cache, but I tried a different webexplorer, and it was not related to cache. There is some HTML issue I could not figure out. It got halfway solved. I think there is a bug right there, what is seen in the draft editor should be identical to whats seen after its saved. The resizing also sometimes got buggy, the dragging of the corners would expand the image just in one axis. All this got frustrating very quick after spending a few hours trying to fix it. I finally got it working in some way, but I'm can't even remember what fixed it.

     

    Thanks for the help!
