On save/preview we just see an empty preview

[TheDevilOnLine]

When you save/preview a page that hasn't been edited or just had some minor edits (like an extra . or so), it just shows 'This is only a preview; changes have not yet been saved!' and all content is removed. It only happens with IE 6.0, and not with FF...

Just got the latest Nightly Build, and that version also got the same bug!

Before I forget, this is meant for the "MediaWiki+FCKeditor" bug list ;-)

I just went to the demo sand box and it worked for me with IE6.

Do you have more information for it? Does it work for you with the above URL?

I encountered the exact same problem. I had the impression there is a mix between the POST data information present in the FORM and the action="index.php?title=test&action=submit". So I decided to filter is &action=submit out of the URL to place it as hidden value, which seems to work ... for us at least!;-)

So, find the following code block into EditPage.php (into includes directory):
(Tip: The error is around the <form id= , so search for this.)

		$safemodehtml = $this->checkUnicodeCompliantBrowser()
			? '' : Xml::hidden( 'safemode', '1' );

		$wgOut->addHTML( <<<END
{$toolbar}
<form id="editform" name="editform" method="post" action="$action" enctype="multipart/form-data">
END
);

		if( is_callable( $formCallback ) ) {
			call_user_func_array( $formCallback, array( &$wgOut ) );
		}

		wfRunHooks( 'EditPage::showEditForm:fields', array( &$this, &$wgOut ) );

		// Put these up at the top to ensure they aren't lost on early form submission
		$wgOut->addHTML( "
<input type='hidden' value=\"" . htmlspecialchars( $this->section ) . "\" name=\"wpSection\" />

And replace it by:

		$safemodehtml = $this->checkUnicodeCompliantBrowser()
			? '' : Xml::hidden( 'safemode', '1' );

// HeBo MOD Preview Bug
//$action = "/wiki/index.php?title=Secure_UC"; ... Removes &action=submit
$action_post= "";
$action_before = $action;
$action = str_replace("&action=submit","",$action);
if ($action_before!=$action) {
  $action_post = "<input type='hidden' name=\"action\" value=\"submit\" />";
}

		$wgOut->addHTML( <<<END
{$toolbar}
<form id="editform" name="editform" method="post" action="$action" enctype="multipart/form-data">
END
);

		if( is_callable( $formCallback ) ) {
			call_user_func_array( $formCallback, array( &$wgOut ) );
		}

		wfRunHooks( 'EditPage::showEditForm:fields', array( &$this, &$wgOut ) );

		// Put these up at the top to ensure they aren't lost on early form submission
		$wgOut->addHTML( "
" . $action_post ."
<input type='hidden' value=\"" . htmlspecialchars( $this->section ) . "\" name=\"wpSection\" />

I hope this will help, Henry2.0

This is not a FCKeditor bug
