Updates updates…
Afraithe Quite a lot of stuff happening, I have to say the IE8 release came as a surprise to us, we had hoped they would fix a few more issues before launch, feels very unstable. We where going to attend the IE development chat that was yesterday, but since the browser is out already, we find it quite pointless to push our issues further, even if they get fixed, this is the version we have to work with/around, getting quite tiresome.
As a result of this, new version of TinyMCE and our MCFileManager/MCImageManager have been released, fixing some issues with IE8 (and other things), check the changelogs on the TinyMCE website for more information.
One interesting thing about the fix for the imagemanager edit function, it hanged IE8, not just the tab, but the entire window due to a quite simple change in they way clone node seems to work. And here I thought they said that the browser could not hang, tabs are suppose to be separate instances?
Tip of the day: Want to use FF built in spellchecker with TinyMCE even though context menu plugin is turned on? Hold down CTRL while you right click the underlined word in Firefox.

Control click on an underlined word was what we did in our implementation.
I have found some issues with the Firefox spell checker. If you start with a blank document, and start typing, the spell checker works as expected, but when I press the enter key(new paragraph) the underlines disappears. I think this happens in most design mode elements and it is an issue (or a feature) in Firefox.
