A bug has been filed at tinyMCE's project site.

I can't seem to break anything without changing the HTML manually. It wraps single lines in <p> tags now, so does it still need to filter out &[size=12]nbsp[/size]; characters?
Edit: Maybe add a button for spoiler tags, not many people seem to know they even exist.
Edit2: Oh, nevermind that first bit, it was wrapping the single line because I had pressed return earlier, it just didn't kill the <p> tags when I did a select all and backspaced it. Still, maybe it should just go ahead and wrap single lines in them, it'll probably get you less complaints in general about that invalid html thing. - Feb 10, 2009 9:42 am GMT
I hope you dont understand...
The new version is betterand faster, thanks.

Just a quick update, I tend to enjoy manipulating my uploaded images to resize them. It helped because I only needed to upload 1 image instead of two images (a regular sized image and a thumnail image). I also liked adding a border around my images.
Talked to the crew and they said this functionality was removed under the image icon. I have updated the 'KNOWN ISSUES' section with the following:
Removed the functionality to manipulate an image through .html or add boards. Make sure you resize your images before linking them in the forums.

FWIW, I amable to use Command-V (the normal paste shortcut for Mac) in Safari to paste text but cannot use Crtl-V, unless this note was for PC users as that doesn't work on a Mac.

Removed for good? Or just not implemented in the updated one yet?

This whole "Your HTML is not well formed - check for unclosed tags" is an annoying feature, one I wish I could disable. I've posted incorrect HTML before, but correct HTML often tells me no, it's wrong when hitting preview it appears fine. Other than that, it's great. - Feb 16, 2009 3:56 am GMT
