- # 32425
Steps to reproduce the issue
Add an editor field to the default.xml for any existing menu item of any core or other component, then try to create a new menu item using the modified form.
e.g. Open /components/com_content/tmpl/article/default.xml and somewhere in the Basic options fieldset, add:
<field name="xxx" type="editor" label="xxx" buttons="true" hide="readmore,pagebreak" />
You must include the "buttons" or "hide" attributes for the problem to occur.
Now try to create a new menu item of type Articles, Single Article, and go to the Options tab. The toolbar buttons no longer function.
Expected result
Should see the new editor field and the toolbar buttons should work.
Actual result
Toolbar buttons are dead. Cannot save or cancel.
System information (as much as possible)
Joomla! 4.0.0-beta7
Additional comments
Without the "buttons" or "hide" attributes, the problem does not occur.

There are many third party components that allow the addition of text as part of a menu item. This needs to be fixed.

Can you give an example so that it makes testing easier please.
Here's one of mine:

Just install it and try to create a menu item of type Rentalot, Classic Availability Page. As soon as you go to the Options tab, the toolbar buttons die.
Yes I confirm that this problem is gone in beta 8 today. Thank you very much. This can be closed.

I don't know the use case for such a field, but I can confirm the weird behaviour: buttons and / or hide lead to the inclusion of some elements with modal classes, which interfere with the view, fields and buttons are not clickable anymore.
