In a page with web part zones and Content Editor web part(s) for text: if you try to edit text using the ribbon menu, sometimes hovering over an action (without clicking) will automatically scroll to the CE web part without applying formatting (since you didn't click yet).
Consider the scenario:
- A content editor web part is added toward the bottom of the page.
- Text is added to this (direct in the web part, not via a 'content link')
- You highlight some text and go to the Markup Style dropdown...
- Everything is fine until you hover over the "Paragraph" markup style, and suddenly the page scrolls to the web part you are editing, and you didn't have a chance to click and apply the "Paragraph" formatting
- I have tried testing this with text typed directly into the Content Editor, text pasted in from somewhere else, and text pasted in from somewhere else using "Paste as Plaintext" option in the ribbon. In each scenario, I get the same results.
- Furthermore, I have also tested this in both IE8 and IE9 and get the same results.
This appears to happen randomly with different controls. I can get it to occur most regularly with trying to apply the Paragraph "Markup Style" but I've also seen this happen with Font Size (any font size). It's very frustrating since you aren't able to actually apply the formatting you need because the page jumps before you can click. Has anyone experienced this before? Is there any software I should check (Silverlight, java, etc.)? Any feedback would help.
Thank you!
