CTRL+A forces focus on editor starting and/or ending with a list in it's content

[casjonker]

Are you reporting a feature request or a bug?

The strangest thing: In Chrome, using CTRL+A anywhere on the page will give an unexpected result while there is a list set at the beginning and/or end of the content in the editor. It sets the focus on the editor containing the list.

Since we are using multiple editors on one page, this results in a focus shift from the editor without list to the editor of which the content starts and/or ends in a list.

Only happens with divarea

Provide detailed reproduction steps (if any)

Strange behaviour with list:

1. Add a list in the editordivarea (make sure the content starts or ends with a list)
2. Remove focus from the editor
3. Hit CTRL+A, see how focus turns to editor...
4. Remove focus from the editor
5. Hit CTRL+A, expected behaviour is back

Expected result

Expected behaviour:

1. Type some tekst in an editor divarea
2. Remove focus from the editor
3. Hit CTRL+A

Actual result

Other details

• Browser: Chrome, Safari
• OS: Windows
• CKEditor version: 4.7.2
• Installed CKEditor plugins: divarea

Solved it for now by overriding the widgetselection plugin. Threw in the following at the top of the addFillers function:

if (!editor.focusManager.hasFocus) {
    return false;
}
