# Insert/Edit Image Bug in 2.3

 * I upgraded my WordPress to 2.3 the other day and have had no problems/errors 
   with it thus far, except with the insert/edit image button. I can click on the
   button and insert an image fine, but if I go back to edit the settings (IE: I
   want to change the horizontal space from 0 to 3) for an image hitting the insert/
   edit image button again to bring up the box and then hit okay after making changes,
   it REINSERTS the image a second time so then I have the image displaying twice
   instead of once, so I have to delete the second image.
 * Not sure if anyone else is having this problem but its really annoying 🙁 Anyone
   know why it’s doing that or how to fix it?

 * I got the same problem. Also, the image size has been set as Height=1 and Width
   =1 so that the image becomes invisible after I click the image button. I thought
   the problem, at least with I.E., has been confirmed by others. How come there
   seems not much talks about it, let alone a fix for it?

 * I’m using version 2.3.1, and this is an issue as well. I’ve searched for a fix
   too, and haven’t found one. I’m anxiously awaiting one.

 * I installed the fckeditor, and don’t have this problem with images anymore.

 * I have the same problem, but when i installed the FCKEditor the problem was solved…
 * Really sweet WYSIWYG editor, Thanks for sharing 🙂

 * I can confirm this bug too. I’m anxious to see it resolved. It has been reported
   here: [http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5087](http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5087)
 * Unfortunately ‘upgrading’ to FCKEditor isn’t an option for me because of some
   essential TinyMCE editor plugins.

 * This bug is very consistent. TinyMCE seems to ‘asume’ in IE7 that whenever the
   dimensions field is left empty it should make it at least 1 pixel in both dimensions.
 * I see the ticket was closed as fixed in 2.5. So now what? Sit on our thumbs and
   wait for that version to come out? How about a patch for 2.3.x people?

 * I too have also found that this is a major issue that remains unresolved. 🙁
 *  I have been configuring a test run of WordPress (2.3.3) with the hope that it
   could be employed as a quick CMS for several clients who have requested this 
   capability for a simple site. Many of these users are not overly code-savvy …
   and employing WordPress should not require them to be so. Unfortunately, the 
   errors that the TinyMCE image editing introduces would leave such users befuddled
   and discouraged. Not good.
 *  Those who suggested ‘upgrading’ to FCKEditor are doing a disservice as this 
   becomes a band-aid on the problem and compounds the issues with its own set: 
   In experimenting with the FCKEditor plugin I’ve found that it allows for its 
   own file-uploads. This sounds sweet until one realizes that WordPress’s own file
   manager/viewers will not recognize the files uploaded through FCKEditor. Presumably
   WordPress is utilizing the image info for its native file displays/viewers from
   database entries – which would explain why it is not aware of the uploads via
   FCKEditor even when the latter is pointed to the same directory for its usage.
 *  Employing the FCKEditor then is clearly NOT a solution to the issue and will
   only result in potentially VERY confused clients/users later on! 🙁
 *  Please, Please find suitable resolution for this ongoing issue. Thanks.

 * I’m running 2.3.3 and my Insert/Edit image button just brings up a blank box,
   with an x in the top right corner to close it.
 * I can’t get it to do anything at all.
