I believe that I have found a serious potential dataloss bug in the latest version of
EditTablePlugin. (this does not reproduce in 4.7.10, $Rev: 16239 (25 Jan 2008) but does reproduce with 4.8.2, $Rev: 16617 (07 Apr 2008) $) .
Most users won't run into this -- unless they do something unusual or make a minor error in their TML syntax. :-(
Create an "unusual" situation like this:
%EDITTABLE{}%
| col 1 | col 2 | col 3 |
| dog | fish | cow |
In the "previous" version of
EditTable , this would result in a button (for an empty ediitable table) above an uneditable table with two rows.
In the 4.8.2 version of
EditTable , this results in only an "empty" button. The other table is not presented. Worse, if you click the button and add a row, the "uneditable" table is removed from the page source.
Discovered when a user mistakenly edited an existing table as
%EDITTABLE{}%
<font size="-2">
| col 1 | col 2 | col 3 |
| dog | fish | cow |
Good fortune - the user panicked when the table "disappeared" and did not click the edit button.
