Editor issue : selecting text to use BBCode

Post by BAT »

Example Text : " selecting text to use BBCode "

I want to make the example text bold and underlined ....

In my board's editor I select the example text press the bold bbcode button , it appears as pic1
pic1.jpg
then I press the underline bbcode button and it appears as pic2
pic2.jpg
to get it like pic3 , I have to reselect the example text and then press the underline bbcode button
pic3.jpg
.....................

In my board's editor , when ever I want to use two bbcode over a particular text I have to select the text twice , which here in the board of phpbb3bbcodes.com, I can do this by selecting the text only once ...
.....................

How can I do this in my board ???
I am a Novice and I'm always confused . :?

I dont have that mod installed, think it is caused by the quickedit mod.

What is my MOD causing? :D

AJAX Quick Edit actually uses phpBB's own functions, therefore you shouldn't have to select the text twice with a clean phpBB install.

Checking my demoboard it seems you are right marc :)
It must have been introduced in one of the newer version, because it has not allways been like that.
