The menu is still usable when this occurs. In the Editor, the feature does not modify or strip the paragraph OneWeb CMS 6 Release Notes (build ) Page 8 of 9

9 styles. While this is by design, font styles that are embedded within the paragraph style will remain and this may not be desired. The image resizer handles of a selected image in the Editor remain visible even when the image properties window is displayed above it. Embedding a YouTube video at the top of a content block will obscure the overlay menu so that it becomes inaccessible to the user. In the Editor, an image must be selected by left clicking on it prior to invoking the image properties window. If not selected, settings within the properties window will not get applied. In Internet Explorer and Firefox, when a user enters content in a table, it adds a paragraph tag which is expected behaviour. Removing this content does not remove the paragraph tag and the user will have to clear the cell using HTML edit mode or delete the row and recreate it. Internet Explorer 8 protected mode will limit OneWeb CMS 6 user s ability to upload files. The user should add their site to the Trusted Sites list in Internet Explorer.
