Hey Everyone,
I am experiencing a very odd bug and about to launch my site publicly with 50,000 users so I am a bit nervous / concerned!
If I copy/paste any content into a post, I can not edit that post anymore. If I edit it, it will show up as blank in the edit form as if I never even posted anything at all! This is only if I create a new post then paste into it.
If I create a new post, write some text manually - then paste at some point into the post, it will not allow me to edit it anymore. I need to post the manually written content, THEN edit, THEN paste, at which point I can then edit the pasted text. UGH! :-P
If I create a new post, write some text manually and post it, edit it, paste the text - then I can edit the post without problem with all the content available. It is only if I start a new post and paste content into the post then edit that this problem occurs.
This problem occurs anywhere that I can post content. Blog, CMS, and Forums all see the issue.
We are doing a TON of copy/pasting to populate certain sections of our forums so this is a big problem for us at the moment. Any idea what may cause this to happen? I saw something about a bug in PCRE which could have caused something but I have the newest version of that:
PHP Version 5.4.9-4ubuntu2
Update:
It would appear only certain parts of a paste will break it.
For example, I can edit
"Every Total Control installation begins with an MRX-10, the brains of the system. The MRX-10 stores and issues one-touch automation commands for all components throughout the house over the home network. It provides lightning-fast response time with 100% accuracy and no outside interruptions. When operated by a Total Control remote control, keypad or touchscreen, the MRX-10 provides powerful two-way system status feedback to allow control of components in any room, with any remote, from anywhere on the network. The MRX-10 enhances the control experience by enabling your clients to control virtually any type of component over the network, even if"
However I can not edit:

I can copy and paste "it's" from other sources as I thought maybe it was the ' that was causing the problem - but this is not the case.
If I copy and paste the paragraph above that I can not edit, delete it's and retype it manually it works fine.
Wow so just pasting the ’ from my post into any post will make it uneditable >IF< it is the first post. I am guessing this has to do with the fact the actual paste of ’ has some content other than just the ’
In another example, pasting a " broke it and I could not longer edit. However this is not always the case - I can copy/paste SOME " and ' but not if it CAME from my same vBulletin it would seem?

PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions) Support | enabled |
PCRE Library Version | 8.31 2012-07-06 |
- I have tried disabling plugins/hooks to be sure it wasn't those - and the problem still occurs.
- I have tried creating a new style without parents to see if it was template edits - problem still occurs.
Suhosin Module Loaded No mod_security AJAX Unicode Issue No - Tested with Chrome and Firefox to eliminate browser as the issue
- Tried changing to not use CKE and it still doesn't work
