Unexplained characters in Edit Entry window... HELP?!

Vote 0 Votes

A new user to Movable Type (On Mac) is seeing strange bugs and wierd characters in the Edit Entry window…

First, the odd Å character occurs when I use the space bar in either edit modes (WYSIWYG and HTML) - they always show up in Preview.
When I ask for an indent, all of my paragraphing and breaks are gone.
When I call in pictures, they change bolds and font sizes for some reason. Very confusing!

I’ve tried to replicate what this user is seeing, but to no avail. Any ideas?

  • I use MT on MacOS X all the time and have never seen such behavior before. Can you post a much more detailed explanation, including details like what browser (including version) was used, whether or not this is an upgrade and if there are any plugins installed that change the editor?

  • Errors are on Mac OSX, MT is version 4.12, a fresh install (no upgrades or plugins were added). I assume the browser is either Safari or Firefox, but I'm still waiting to find that out. Thanks!

  • Errors are on Mac OSX version 10.5.5

    in web browser Safari 3.2.1

    Thanks in advance if you find anything!

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
