Unable to replicate this in any version or branch

Can replicate this with Firefox Developer Edition only

It dates back to Joomla! 4 so this must be something to do with the browser itself as I haven't noticed it until now.

You can't type into the editor as it's constantly refreshing and losing focus; it seems the browser is initialized in a loop, as it requests editor.css and content.css indefinitely

@OctavianC can you please try to comment one of these. First only load listener and then only PostRender

And check whether it have an effect.

I don't have this file. It's currently running Joomla 6.1 Alfa, the latest. There are files in this folder

tinymce-builder.js
tinymce-builder.min.js
tinymce.js
tinymce.min.js

But the DOM tree change happens in the file
media/vendor/tinymce/themes/silver/theme.js : 2049 and 2145

        `v.dom.insertBefore(element.dom, marker.dom);`
        `dom.parentNode.removeChild(dom);`

these 2 methods are constantly called in sequence.

@Fedik commenting either one of them solves the issue. I've also also left them both commented and the editor works fine

You're right, I looked at another browser (Yandex(Chromium)).
Everything is working perfectly.
The reboot takes place in Firefox Developer. Of course, it has several extensions installed. But I started the editor in private mode (without extensions), the reboot also happens all the time.

The reboot also happens on other sites in Firefox Developer.
Please check in this browser.

My version Firfox Developer 148 in Vanilla OS(Linux )

commenting either one of them solves the issue. I've also also left them both commented and the editor works fine

Can you please try to check which exactly of these event cause this behavior? Maybe we can remove one.
The reason there is two because different behavior in browsers. And use of 2 events is a way to render the editor earlier as possible.

Currently the order is:
Chrome:

load
PostRender

Firefox:

PostRender
load

Perhaps my message wasn't clear enough:

• Commenting ed.on('load') solves the issue
• Commenting ed.on('PostRender') solves the issue
• Commenting both ed.on('load') and ed.on('PostRender') solves the issue

I've also added a console.log() to see in which order they run:

Results on Firefox Developer shows load and PostRender in a loop:

Results on Firefox shows PostRender and then load:

Thanks. It is confusing. Maybe bug in Firefox.
And for following code which messages shows up?

    ed.on('load', () => {
        isReady = true;
        if (isRendered) {
          console.log('load');
          listenIframeReload();
        }
      });
      ed.on('PostRender', () => {
        isRendered = true;
        if (isReady) {
          console.log('PostRender');
          listenIframeReload();
        }
      });

Just PostRender shows up in a loop

Thank you for checking.

Are we sure that this isnt a tinymce error? Do you get the sane problems when using tinymce examples such as https://www.tiny.cloud/docs/tinymce/latest/full-featured-open-source-demo/

Doesn't do that on the TinyMCE demo as the code responsible for this issue is located in

thanks for confirming

It seems, that Firefox has release verison 148 yesterday as stable version.
And with it, the described behavior of the tinymce (constant reload with no possibility to enter anything) is now the standard behavior of the editor of a Joomla Website on Firefox.

I think you might want to reopen this isse and fix the problem.
Commenting the on load listener does not stop the flickering.
Commenting the on PostRender listener does stop the flickering.
Problem exists an Joomla 5.4.3 as well as on 6.0.3.

@avjoomla If you scroll a bit up you will see that this issue has been solved with PR #46889 , so there is no need to re-open it.

Okay, thanks, I overllooked that.
With which Joomla Version will these changes be released?
Because with 5.4.3 and 6.0.3 the issue is not fixed and it is really very annoying.

in the next release BUT i made a hotfix available for you tio use NOW https://github.com/brianteeman/tinymce-firefoxfix/releases

Thanks a lot.
That fixes the problem.

The hotfix for 5.4.3 does work properly.

The hotfix for 6.0.3 does NOT work. TinyMCE still reboots. This also appears if I hotfix the J5 files into J6 (i.e. the 'wrong' hotfix). So for the moment, there is no fix available for J6.

Firefox 148.0 release

It absolutely does work!

"If after replacing the two files and clearing the browser cache you still have problems then your site is using the gzipped version of the javascript which is NOT included in the update. You should delete the file media/plg_editors/js/tinymce.min.js.gz to ensure that the correct hotfix files are being used by your site"

Thanks for explanation and support!
After deleting the zipped file, the hotfix does work.
