Embedded flash file breaks layout widgets edit mode - Sitefinity - Bugs & Issues

I have an old site I am migrating over to Sitefinity. There is a swf file that does nothing else than cycles images that are embedded into the flash file (i.e. not advanced scripting). I know there are much better ways to handles this, but again this is a pure migration at this point.

This happens with the built in Sitefinity templates and also with custom templates via masterpages.

1.) I drop a content widget onto the page and use the embed flash feature to select my swf. It displays and functions correctly.
2.) Now anytime I click edit on a layout widget the edit modal breaks. See the attached image.

I have read similar issues when there are jQuery conflicts, but the only control on the page is the content block where I load the flash and I am not explicitly loading jQuery for anything. When I view the resources being loaded into the page I am only seeing 1 reference to jQuery (1.8.3) and the typical Telerik version of jQuery UI and etc.

Any ideas?

Hi Stacey,

Thank you for reporting this behavior!

I was able to reproduce it on a new instance of Sitefinity 5.4 It turns out to be a bug in our system, which requires further investigation. Please excuse us for the inconvenience. I have updated your Telerik points! You can track the status of the bug here:

Still seeing this in 6.0. Any update on this? I am also seeing this exact same thing anytime I use embed code that has an iframe from vendors like YouTube.

This line of html will break it every time. NOTE: This is added in the Content Block widget via HTML mode.

<iframe width="250" height="200" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/#######" frameborder="0"></iframe>

I cannot expect my clients to know they need to remove this every time they want to make a change on their page layouts.

I played around a bit in Chrome and found that I can turn off the Overflow: hidden in the following line and the UI will be the way it should, but I prefer not to try overriding your ZoneEditor.

<span id="ZoneEditor" style="top:-10000px;left:-10000px;position:absolute;overflow:hidden;height:1px;width:1px;">

Temp Workaround: This needs more testing as I am sure there may be a scenario that this is not good for, but for now I can at least use the page layouts in my templates without having to remove embed code by adding the following to my CSS.

#ZoneEditor

overflow: visible !important;
