    Entered text deleted while loading editor

    Hiya Adam.  Just a niggling issue a number of users have reported:

    Upon loading of the editor, which can take some time, due to the number of toolbars / images etc, it is possible to begin entering text in the editor, before the load is completed.

    However after the editor completes loading it deletes any text that has been entered in the meantime. I assume it is injecting any previously saved data into the editor, at the end of the routine.  In the situation where there is none (such as adding a new post to these forums) it injects nothing (thereby deleting any text the user has entered while waiting for the editor to load).

    I realise this would probably only occur on first load of the editor (ie before images etc are cached), however it still confuses some users.

    Would it be possible to re-arrange the order that this routine is run so as to avoid this issue?  I assume it would have to wait until the CSS classes are run, but thought it may still be possible..

    (occurs on Firefox, IE seems to have a slightly different behaviour - still testing)

    Cheers,
    Andrew
