I'd like to report what others above were experiencing (certain typed characters not showing up).

I just created a new mountain page and could not get a plethora of characters to show up as I typed them. These included the letters k and m (although K and M in capital form worked fine, oddly enough), ", !, %, (, and my arrow keys. Made for frustrating work. Luckily the page did not require lengthy descriptions, but typing up anything longer would have been torture. FWIW, I am using Chrome.

How bizarre. I just edited your page (with Chrome) and can type all characters without any problems.

However, I just finished updating the editor software, so maybe this fixed the issue?

Can you try editing that page (or creating a new one) and see if it works for you again?

Maybe there is some certain sequence of events that lead up to not being able to type all characters? Did anyone notice if they did something in particular before not being able to type the characters? Like upload an image or insert a table or some other action that then lead to some of the letters or keys not working?

You might need to do "Ctrl + F5" to get the most recent version of javascript.

It worked fine for me yesterday. Thanks!

This is more of an undesirable feature (IMO) than a bug and occurs when an image is not of the same proportional dimensions as its display area.

On the front page, vertical images seem to be squished to fit. I'm not quite sure what happens to panos but they don't look good either. Some images end up looking quite bad unless you click on them. Look at the current potd for instance.

On the "What's New" page they seem to be cropped to fit. If a picture almost fits, then this is not so bad, but an extreme vertical image comes out looking stupid.

Ideally (IMO) in both cases above, the image should be sized so that it is proportioned as intended.

On the page for a particular image, the image comes out proportioned right, but you can't see an entire vertical image without scrolling. When you click on it though, it is exactly the right size to fit the screen, so why can't you make it exactly the right size or at least closer, before it is clicked on?

Sorry if this has been previously addressed.

Thanks for the feedback on the image distortion issue ZeeJay. Yes, it has been brought up but we haven't found a good solution for the front page yet. We'll keep working on it. Today two of the primary images front and center on the front page are distorted, which made me remember/realize that we still need to fix this issue.

Matt, the editor works fine now, all character keys show up. Thanks!

I can't delete a photo I double posted by mistake.

I deleted it already 2 times but it keeps on display.

I don't think that we can look at photos on a page by creation date anymore? The tab at the top of a page reverts to all SP photos rather than just those on the page.

I don't know if this is a bug or not, but when you add a photo within page editor, it doesn't attach to the page.

Two big bugs:

When trying to edit photo captions in existing pages, clicking on the caption bar treats the photo as a link, thus making it incredibly difficult and time consuming to try and edit a caption within an exiting page.

Photo size adjustment in the new editor doesn't work in charts (and probably not on other pages-I'm afraid to try because it might mess up a page). There are only selections for small, medium, large, and largest. If you try to adjust photo size of one photo using the corner drag, it adjust all photos on the page, not just the photo you are trying to edit.

I don't think that's ever been the case, but it is a good idea and wouldn't be too hard to attach an image to a page if it is used on the page. I'll think about how best to do that.

What is a "chart"? Please post an example page of what you're referring to so that I can recreate it and try to fix it.

I have no idea where exactly you're talking about. Please post a link or a screenshot.

I should have said table instead of chart. Here is what I am talking about. When dragging a corner of a photo to resize it, it adjust the sizes of all photos on the page, not just the photo in question.



In the previous SP version, resizing a photo in a table was very easy and there was more than one way to do it. The easiest way would be simply to click the photo and change the height or width. For the particular chart in question, horizontal photos were 100 px in width and vertical photos were 85 px in width, so they would fit in the table nicely. Now you only get four choices without doing some really complicated html using the old editor. It makes tables with photos huge because the smallest choice is still pretty big.

Dragging the corners of one photo changes the width of all photos. Attempting to drag it on one photos changed all of the photos on the page to "medium" even though I only want thumbnail size. I definitely didn't want all the photos on the page to revert to medium, but I can't figure out how to fix it without doing some really complicated and time consuming html.

Another problem is that trying to edit a caption in a photo (not only in tables) while in edit mode of a page is frustrating because clicking in the "dark bar" at the bottom of a photo in page edit mode still treats the attempt to edit the caption as clicking on a link. Does this make sense?

I don't think that's ever been the case,

That may be true; I have never had to do it that way before. With all the problems I have had with photo spacing, captions, etc., it seems to be the easiest way to do it now.

Oh, interesting! That's probably a bug within the editor. Can you post a link to a page with a table like that where I can replicate the bug?

To edit captions, you just need to click on the image anywhere and then the modal dialogue will open up where you can set the caption. As you've discovered, trying to click on the caption area could link to the actual image.
