Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported sequence with a file ACL: open the source pane, display the sharing pane, and then edit the body in both text/plain and text/html cases. Trace the source-pane display and editing flow to find why the existing body becomes undefined; done means the real body remains visible and editable without content loss, including after the sharing pane is displayed.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

bug

Sometimes source-pane display text undefined for an existing body. (see example below)
When editing original body is lost.
This is reproduceable (do in the same order) and does not appear only for text/plain file, but also text/html file
If you reload the page everything is ok again.
Displaying the sharing-pane seems to be the origin of the problem.

Only seen when a file acl is set.

  • editing the pane edit the word undefined and not the real body and you lose previous content
