Redmine

Another JS related issue.
Maybe this could be solved by upgrading to newer libraries? Can someone confirm this on its own Redmine?

Maybe this could find its way in the next bug fix release as this is sometime a little bit annoying. ;-)

I update this.
The text is lost in every list which uses this file: source:trunk/public/javascripts/context_menu.js

I debugged this. The text gets lost after a return in this file: source:trunk/public/javascripts/jquery-1.8.3-ui-1.9.2-ujs-2.0.3.js

It seems that this problem gets huger in the latest IE version. If I ctrl+click to multiselect issues, all text of the selected items get lost.

Maybe an upgrade of jquery and jqueryui would solve this problem. This bug makes the multiselection in Internet Explorer not really useful.

yes, that one is the problem. And this one causes it:

function contextMenuClearDocumentSelection() {
  // TODO
  if (document.selection) {
    document.selection.clear(); // IE
  } else {
    window.getSelection().removeAllRanges();
  }
}

The document.selection.clear() causes the selected text to disappear. According to doc from M$:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/ms535869%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
the clear deletes the content of the selection. Replacing it with .empty() seems to do the trick.

I don't claim to understand what the purpose of this function is. Why? Removing the line in question completely seems no to have any negative effect...

I confirmed that using .empty() fixed the issue, thanks. Committed in r11750.
The purpose of this line is to avoid the text selection to appear when selecting multiple issues at once with the shift key pressed.
