'lang.contextmenu.options' is null or not an object

[Jörgen Rydenius]

If using a browser with language setting that has no corresponding javascript file in ckeditor/lang, then Internet Explorer will fail to load the CK editor with javascript error message:

'lang.contextmenu.options' is null or not an object
ckeditor.js, row 45 char 813

It looks to me like there is some broken fallback handling here? I would have expected it to use "en.js" or something like that when no matching script file was found.

To repeat: remove the javascript file in ckeditor/lang directory that corresponds to your browser's language setting and try open the ckeditor.

If you remove language files manually then you must force the language to avoid these problems or update the _languages.js file

But the same thing happens when the corresponding mapping is removed from ckeditor/lang/_languages.js too! I would have expected it to fallback to CKEDITOR.config.defaultLanguage then.

By the way, this problem is not isolated to IE, Firefox says "l.lang.contextmenu is undefined" in the same situation.

My fault, available languages was mapped inside the minified ckeditor.js too (assignment of "a.lang"). Removing language from there too fixed my problem. Sorry about the invalid bug report.
