Dear Sage users, I'm using Sage in a class this semester, and all my students are running Vista. I've instructed them to get sagenb.org accounts and to use Firefox. All going well so far, until they try to shift-click above a cell to get a TinyMCE editor. Many of them report the following problem, and I've seen them do it on their laptops in my office, and can't figure out a solution. The problem is that the editor displays only as the two Save/Cancel buttons, and a miniscule sliver of textarea that can't be clicked in and has no toolbars. To see an example screenshot, see here: http://web.bentley.edu/empl/c/ncarter/tinymce_problem_screnshot.png
I have several students with this problem, but when I tried it on a desktop PC in the math department office (also running Vista and Firefox) I did not experience the problem. Lastly, I had one of these students install Chrome and try that browser instead. It behaves nearly identically, except that the sliver of an editor has a resizing handle, and she can resize it to be able to type inside. However, there is still no toolbar, and saving has no effect, by which I mean that her text disappears, and viewing the worksheet in Edit mode after she's saved the worksheet reveals no trace of the edit at all (just two adjacent computation cells, in between which I expected to find her text). All of these students have Java enabled. I have not yet collected Vista, browser, and/or Java versions, but can do so if no one has seen this problem before and needs more information to help me deal with it. Thank you for any help you can provide! Nathan
