Description
Very weird bug found today.
Moodle 2.1.5+ (Build: 20120315) (bug does not affect other versions)
Problem ONLY occurs with Mozilla Firefox (using version 11, Windows or Mac).
No problem with MISE or Chrome.
On Multiple Choice edit screen: all HTML edit boxes except Question Text display the problem.
When clicking on all the HTLM edit boxes, impossible to enter the box to enter text. Instead, upon hovering over the edit boxes, this tooltip text is displayed:
(see attached)
In order to be able to enter text in those boxes, I have to drag the "resize" tool at the bottom right of the boxes, and then the entry box becomes active.

ok, I will try to backport editor from 2.2+add necessary core hacks, but I will need testers...
Hi Tim, did you re-write some of my bug report? I don't mind at all, just curious to find my wording changed (for the best) so soon after I had posted it.
Hope a solution will be found soon.

I managed to reproduce it on my comp, latest 2.2.x works, 2.1.x does not.
The description specifically mentions Firefox 11 for Windows. I just wanted to add that I am having the problem in Firefox 11 for Mac, too, and the resize trick still works as a workaround.
We found in one of our own apps we have built that has multiple tinyMCE editors on one screen and was experiencing the same issue, that when we updated tinyMCE to the most recent version this problem went away.
We're seeing the same bug in
Moodle 2.1.2+ (Build 20111027), whenever there are multiple HTML editors on the screen. Faculty run into it when they attempt to create a Multiple Choice question; students find it when taking a quiz that has more than one essay question on a page.
Moodle 2.0.7+ (20120309) is also affected. TinyMCE 3.4.9 in Moodle 2.2 doesn't have this problem.
Moodle 2.0.x is receiving only security fixes and support will end in few months - please consider upgrading your site.
FF originally suggested upgrading TinyMCE (which sounds easy, but not often so for projects with customizations). I downloaded the nightly build (http://nightly.mozilla.org/) of FF resolves the problem .
Just tested skodak's github Branch: w14_MDL-32141_m21_tinymce on my local Moodle 2.1 site, and HTML editor works as expected in Firefox 11.0.
tested: filepicker and spell (I do not use dragmath)
Thanks for the fix, skodak.

nvm
The main moodle.git repository has just been updated with latest weekly modifications. You may wish to rebase your PULL branches to simplify history and avoid any possible merge conflicts. This would also make integrator's life easier next week.
TIA and ciao 
Hi,
quick note on the patch : lang/en/admin.php has duplicate "$string['spellengine'] = 'Spell engine';"
arrgh, fixing
fix pushed to repo, thanks a lot
linking previous backport (22) issue for tinymce
Looks good to me, and I learned a bit about the dragmath stuff
The code here has been spread to upstream moodle repositories and mirrors for anyone to use .
Closing, have a good weekend!
We have been noticing this at the OU.
It affects any form with more than one HTML editor.
