Pro Beta 6.0 rc1 - Footer & Slider Issues

Beta
#1

Hi,

I am seeing two strange problems with rc1 this morning on one of my websites. I have tried disabling the cache and other plugins to no avail.

  1. On the homepage I have a slider at the bottom of the page with a number of products. The slider is one of the Modern Sliders templates, which is set to Carousel and a speed of 0.1. However, the slider does not move smoothly; it judders and flashes all the time. It used to move nice and smoothly.
    It appears it may be similar to this problem: [Violation] 'requestAnimationFrame' and [Violation] Forced reflow while executing JavaScript

  2. I have tried making an edit to a Text element in the footer. The change is to simply add another line of text with a hyperlink. However, the addition does not show in the preview, the save button does not light up to indicate a change and when saving the addition does not save.

Details in a secure note.

Thanks,
Christopher

We will take a look, thanks for the feedback!

#2 so right now if you click on a different element or defocus it after making inline text changes the save button will indicate changes and when you save your changes they will persist throughout loads. I’m seeing if this is an MCE limitation or if we can indicate to the system of changes on any update.

@whitemedia, on #2, I’ve looked into this personally some more and this is related to TinyMCE, the core WordPress library all of this is built on (what the old “classic” editor used before Gutenberg). This is how the inline editor has always worked even back in previous versions. As @charlie mentioned above, the changes made using the inline editor do not take effect until you click on anything else in the interface so that focus is lost and the changes are “made,” then when you save, they will persist. The only edge case I have come across where a change “won’t save” is if you inline edit, make a change, and then hit they keyboard shortcut to save the page while the inline editor is still up, and then refresh. Again, some of this is all just a reality of working with that library and how events are managed in the tool. At this time we are not planning to make any changes her as things appear to be functioning as they always have. Hopefully that helps to provide a bit more context.

Thanks @kory. Much appreciated. Any ideas on #1 ?

Thanks,

@whitemedia, at this time anything slider related will likely be handled in a slider-specific fix release cycle. We’d love to be able to tackle those more directly at this time, but our main priority is getting this release cycle out and our main development branch cleaned up so we can get back to general bugfixing as needed. Thanks.
