- In case you are on Liferay DXP 7.0 or you wish to receive a hotfix, please submit a support ticket, requesting for a comprehensive fix that will restore the missing features listed in the above "Issue" section.
- Please note, the below behaviors are expected and not considered as bugs:
-
"Tab" and "Link" in image properties are missing (Reason: the CKEditor was updated to use a new plugin behind the scenes and the "Tab" and "Link" functionalities have been refactored in the new interface).
-
Percentage can't be used anymore at image properties (Reason: In the new CKEditor, the functionality was removed. In those fields, you may use only positive numbers with or without a valid measurement unit, i.e.
px).
-
Inability to add a border to an image with CKEditor (Reason: With the new CKEditor and the implementation of the new "image2" plugin, the image border functionality is no longer present).
