How exactly is that a fix? IMO is should work on both browsers.

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?

Actually I got it running fine with safe-mode. Setting up safe mode (and open_basedir as well) takes a lot of tweaking to get it working right.

From a system administrator point of view just upping the memory limit from 8 to 16M in PHP is potentially hazardous thing to do.

You have to realize that this is 8M per child extra, almost doubling the memory usage. Those figures stack up fast if you realize that a semi-productive server easilly can have about 80 childs running. Do the math. ??

Unfortunately this IS the only answer for the end-user. I am sure the WordPress team can consider reviewing the code to reduce the memory burden it places on PHP installations.

If all of this fails I have another possible solution to the problem of a failing tiny_mce:

Disable display_errors.

I came across a similar problem on a wordpress copy I was running on a development server (where for debugging purposes display_errors on is a good thing ;)) I had multiple blogs running on live servers with a similar setup so I could not pin down what the problem was.

Then I started firebug to check what the heck was going on and came across 3 lines through my javascript:

Apparently the code is searching for language pack files in a plugin folder which it cannot find and this results in PHP WARNINGS. In my opinion someone should ‘condition’ the code a little better to prevent it from tripping/breaking over something as trivial as this.
