How to prevent the XWiki CKEditor bar from obscuring the main text content during editing? Thanks for everyone’s feedback.

Hi,

Foremost, you enabled all the CKEditor plugins / features, which makes for a large toolbar. Do you need all of those? The standard toolbar you get on a clean XWiki installation is only 1 row and much smaller. Then, this is a floating toolbar, so it floats on top of something, which consequently gets hidden. But, the toolbar floats either at the top or at the bottom of the window, so rarely on top of where you are actively typing. When it happens, I simply scroll the page, or add more empty lines at the end.

Hope this helps,
Marius

Hi mflorea,

Tahnks for your comment. We’ve already streamlined CKEditor’s features, but the toolbar still changes size and obscures the text content at different resolutions or zoom levels. Is there any way to improve this?

If the floating toolbar from the in-place editing mode really bothers you then try the standalone editing mode. For this you need to:

  • edit your user profile and make yourself an advanced user
  • from then on use the Edit dropdown menu and select the WYSIWYG entry

If the standalone edit mode suites you and you users then you can disable the in-place edit mode https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/AdminGuide/Configuration/#HIn-placeEditing-8 , but be aware that in the future we plan to drop this standalone edit mode and keep only the in-place edit mode.

Hope this helps,
Marius
