Bug with HTMLarea and Safari 4

[mattlowe01]

Just a heads up, this is a bug I have been experience while editing product descriptions with Safari 4, on Mac OSX 10.5.6.

What happens is, if I enter the following code in TextArea, it works fine.

<p><strong><font face="Tahoma" size="5" color="#000000">NuCanoe: Fishing</font></strong></p>
<span style="font-family: Papyrus, Georgia, serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 22px; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(9, 31, 57); ">The NuCanoe Adventurer brings greater comfort, stability, and versatility to canoe & kayak fishing!</span> <br />

<img src="http://www.nucanoe.com/wp-content/themes/nucanoe/images/fishing_4_sm.jpg" target="_blank" onclick"document.getElementById('im').src='http://www.nucanoe.com/wp-content/themes/nucanoe/images/fishing_4_lg.jpg'" /><img src="http://www.nucanoe.com/wp-content/themes/nucanoe/images/Fishing_7_sm.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="document.getElementById('im').src='http://www.nucanoe.com/wp-content/themes/nucanoe/images/Fishing_7_lg.jpg'" /><img src="http://www.nucanoe.com/wp-content/themes/nucanoe/images/Fishing_8_sm.JPG" target="_blank" onclick="document.getElementById('im').src='http://www.nucanoe.com/wp-content/themes/nucanoe/images/Fishing_8_lg.JPG'" /><img src="http://www.nucanoe.com/wp-content/themes/nucanoe/images/Fishing_6_sm.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="document.getElementById('im').src='http://www.nucanoe.com/wp-content/themes/nucanoe/images/Fishing_6_lg.jpg'" />
<p>Either fish like the Adventurer…or the Adventurer is just a great watercraft for catching more fish. Combining incredible stability, unmatched versatility, and great on-water performance, the NuCanoe will help you cover more territory and catch more fish. So whether you’re fishing lakes, rivers, or saltwater, going solo, taking a friend, or your dog, paddling, rowing, or trolling, the NuCanoe is ready and able. Don’t compromise with other canoes or kayaks….get it all with the Adventurer!</p>

But as soon as I go to HTMLArea on the product description, it changes the code to the following, rendering it useless.

<p><strong><font face="Tahoma" size="5" color="#000000">NuCanoe: Fishing</font></strong></p>
<span style="font-family: Papyrus, Georgia, serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 22px; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(9, 31, 57); ">The NuCanoe Adventurer brings greater comfort, stability, and versatility to canoe &amp; kayak fishing!</span> <br />

HTMLarea is no longer maintained anymore and, for this reason (I believe), it's due to be replaced with FCKeditor in the 2.0 release.

Given the above, I doubt that this bug will be fixed.
