Insertion buttons turned off in Konqueror
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Description:
When you edit a page in firefox a whole list of buttons for easy and quick insertion of tags is available. Apparently
these buttons didn't work on konqueror and so they were made to not show in that browser. At the moment the redirect
button is showing though and is working. I couldn't find any bug on this so I don't know whether the other buttons
work, but they probably do so they should be enabled. If not I want to know about it so I can complain to konqueror
devs on https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121297

That button doesn't appear on a vanilla install of SVN trunk, so I'm assuming it
was added to the sitewide JavaScript and skips the browser checks the built-in
toolbar does.

Possibly same as bug 4663 (Safari is KHTML based, like
Konqueror.)

Manually enabling the button locally, I see that it doesn't
work with Konqueror 3.4.3. Don't have any other versions to
test.

If it works in some future version, we'll need a reliable
marker to test for -- enabling a button that's useless for
many/most existing Konqueror users would not be a great idea.
:)

Preferably this should *NOT* be a user-agent string or such;
we should be able to test the browser for the presence of
features.

Ok, assuming they work where implemented it should be possible
to test for the selectionStart and selectionEnd properties on
the textarea. (The properties are not present in 3.4.3.)

No not in 3.4.3 :) , I filed a bug about this (see first post) on version 3.5.1. Someone worked on it or was working on it already and on my
current 3.5.2 the redirect insertion button works. Brion Vibber, perhaps you can discuss how to test for the necessary features with the konqueror
devs at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121297 ?

Actually if I spoof as firefox 1.0 with konqueror 3.5.2 all insertion buttons work.

Someone has turned the redirect button off for Konqueror. Somewhere between half an hour ago and 4 hours ago.
