Toolbar gets disabled

[Hasmukh-Mistry]

I have a strange issue on my xampp localhost environment. I have setup inline editing mode and I can able to use toolbar when I am editing contents and able save contents successfully. After doing quite of bit of time editing and saving, my toolbar gets disabled and I cannot able to use it to style on contents in the field but the another field with inline editing mode on the same page shows toolbar fine. I logged out out, closed browser and went back to same field and I still have same issue. Even I changed field setting to regular mode and I got no contents and disabled toolbar. I switched back to TiinyMCE and it works fine.

Something quite similar happened to me once; in that case the issue was that I had selected "Normal (DIV)" from format dropdown, had ACF on and "div" wasn't in it's list of allowed elements. There was also a JavaScript error in the console, though I can't remember exactly what it said.

Is there anything strange showing up in your browsers dev tools (or Firebug.. or whatever you use to debug stuff in browser) and is there any chance that aforementioned issue could also apply to your situation?

I've experienced the same issue here a few times now. Apparently it occurs when some certain combination of invalid HTML gets into the editor (via a paste, or old HTML from TinyMCE) that the editor doesn't like. It disables the toolbar, presumably because some error occurred when it was trying to parse the code. The same thing occurs with regular (non-inline) mode too, btw. The way I've been able to fix it is by changing the editor back to a regular Textarea (no rich text editor), locating the invalid HTML, fixing it, and saving it again. Then changing it back to CKEditor. A pain for sure. I don't know where the problem is, but I'm upgrading this module to CKEditor 4.3.0 today, so am hopeful that upgrade might fix this particular issue, but who knows...

@ryancramerdesign exactly same thing happen to me as well so I change back to TinyMCE and then eventually Textarea, I didn't know that it was due to invalid HTML so I will look for HTML next time when it's happen again. Also, I will download updated CKEditor module and try it out. Thanks for looking into.

Sorry I clicked on close button but didn't know that close button will close this issue! This is the first ever github issue I have opened in my life. In order to report the issue, I have to open github account as well.
