I am testing and writing a short user guide to the Presentation plugin before installing it on my public site. Using Firefox I worked through making one taking screenshots as I went: all was fine until I tried to add a blogpost. Then the dialog box did not display the menu to choose the post from - moving to Safari it did work.
There does seem to be other browser issues - I use a Mac all the time and prefer Firefox but there do seem to be occasional problems (http://elgg.org/admin/weblog/135.html) where Firefox fails to render the page correctly. It is not an option to move to recommend Safari to users as this has its own set of issues: these may be related to TinyMCE (I have problems with adding links for example) but from a user's perspective this is not relevant: they want a WYSIWYG editor that works.
Are these known problems that are being addressed? If so, any timescale?
BTW this tool look great and I will probably install it anyway but I'd like to be sure that Mac users are being looked after! (Is this a Mac thing or do other users have the same sort of niggly problems?).
The TinyMCE site does say Safari support is "experimental" - is this the only possible editor?
