Can't change to HTML editor as default

Hi, all. Fresh install of 1.3.8a patched and using Image Handler, Fual Slimbox and Login Box mods. Also installed TinyMCE, which won't work at all...shows up in the drop down box, but nothing happens when it is chosen. BUT, I believe I've had this same problem without the TinyMCE installed. I can choose HTML Area in Configuration>My Store, but when I go to define pages editor, it is still set to Plain Text. It's also set to Plain Text when I go to add a product. Any ideas?

I'm having the same exact problem. Did you figure this out?

Re: Can't change to HTML editor as default

Well, I know TinyMCE won't work for me in FireFox... but it works fine in IE. I hate IE. I wish someone would post a fix for getting it to work in FireFox...

Re: Can't change to HTML editor as default

Be aware that setting the HTML Editor in the Configuration ... My Store ...

HTML Editor
Please select the HTML/Rich-Text editor you wish to use for composing Admin-related emails, newsletters, and product descriptions

is to change the default setting ...

This setting is then used with each NEW session of logging into the Admin ...

Until you log back in, it will use the previous setting ...

Re: Can't change to HTML editor as default

oh wow- look at that! It was weird because I could change from the default/text, to the HTMLArea, and immediately have it update (without logging in/out). I just tried TinyMCE, logged out and back in- and there it is! THANK YOU!
