Comment 1 Sean Flanigan 2011-08-03 07:37:39 UTC

Thanks for the report Manuel. This is caused by a bug in Seam's richfaces library, which doesn't handle (eg) unmatched underscores in SeamText fields (which we use in our Project pages).  So if the content uses an odd number of underscores, it breaks the SeamText editor.

We'll have to go into the database and remove the offending text, as a workaround.

Zanata 1.4 will have an updated richfaces library which fixes the problem properly.

Comment 2 Sean Flanigan 2011-08-05 06:14:38 UTC

We've updated the offending database entries to remove the underscores as a temporary workaround.

NB: if you want to include a URL which uses underscore, you could try using the three characters "%5F" instead of underscore.

Comment 5 Carlos Munoz 2011-11-16 01:37:45 UTC

Added an admin-only section to edit the home page content in plain text, bypassing the rich text editor which is causing the error.

Currently merged to the 1.5.x branch.

Comment 6 Carlos Munoz 2011-11-22 23:47:01 UTC

Merged this upgrade into the 1.4.x branch.

Comment 7 Ding-Yi Chen 2011-11-29 03:23:39 UTC

VERIFIED with Zanata version 1.4.3-alpha-3-SNAPSHOT (20111128-1320)
