 * I just want to check that this is a problem with just my installation. In the
   WYSIWYG editor, when I click on the code tab, it switches, but shows no code,
   then will not switch back to the visual tab, when clicked upon. Also when in 
   this state when I click on publish, it is assumed I’m navigating away from the
   page and brings up the warning box although it still publishes.
 * It’s a vanilla setup – MySQL 5.0.20a-standard
    The browser I’m using is Mozilla/
   5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1
 * In IE7 when I click on code the only reaction is a pop-up box with ! Stack overflow
   at line: 500
 * This is the 2nd installation with identical result.
 * Sorry no URL it’s a client’s domain.

 * Just to add, this problem was not there in the 2.1 alphas, but appeared in the
   betas, I’ve been away so didn’t have a chance to post it to the tester list before
   the 2.1 release.
 * If anyone else has come across this problem can you please put your hand up or
   I’ll have to assume it’s unique to my setup.

 * After upgrading to WP 2.1 some of the WYSIWYG buttons disappeared from above 
   the edit box. Bold, Italics, Spell Check and Split Post, and Help appear fine.
   But link, image, underline etc. fail to appear. Any ideas?

 * I am having the same problem – no change from WYSIWYG to code. And when I edit
   a post and save it, nothing seems to have happened. Page stays the same.

 * Enabling all the Javascript options in Mac Firefox fixed the WYSIWYG editing 
   for me. Thanks a million!

 * Guy’s you hi-jacked the thread with a separate problem. Read the post and do 
   a search before you post.
 * I found the problem the install wasn’t a vanilla :s one, I had a couple plugins
   pre-installed the WYSIWYG 2.1 editor doesn’t play with WP Campaign Monitor [http://www.instinct.co.nz/wp-campaign-monitor/100](http://www.instinct.co.nz/wp-campaign-monitor/100)
 * I remember there being a site for reporting plugins that don’t work with 2.1,
   does anyone know the link?

 * The same here. But it’s fixed by disabling Tiger Style Administration. No need
   to enable all the Javascript options in Firefox.
