[rt-users] Tracking a bug with WYSIWYG editor and IE7

[Michael Finn]

I can't seem to let this go.  Comparing the "Download (untitled)" data
with my signature, I see that they are the same length and shape -- the
same number of characters on each line.  That should be a big clue as to
the truncation problem, as well as the 'random' spaces in the middle of
words -- they correspond to newline positions in my signature.

Why does this only happen in IE (6/7/?)?  Why only when I'm creating a
*new* ticket and not on reply/comment?

Still investigating...
Mike
