After update editor does not work

  • A couple of days ago I updated our existing WP 2.7.x to 2.8 – no problem, no error messages, all articles are showing, I can manage comments.

    Today I wanted to write a news article in the admin section, I could fill in the title but I can not go into the main editor field. Every other field on the screen is ok, I can write an excerpt, add tags, etc. But I can not write the article – that field does not even respond to clicks on the HTML tab.

    I did the manual update, changed all files except config, content and my own theme. I can’t do automatic update.

    One more information:
    When I open an existing article the text in the main field is not visible, only red stripes, like the field is using a totally different charset than the rest of the application.

    Trying the same in Opera I found out that I actually can go into the main editor field but the characters I type are invisible.

    Now I did an update to 2.8.2. I deleted all files except the ones not to delete (following instructions of the WP documentation), uploaded the new files. Ran /wp-admin/update.php.
    In the admin page the new version shows.

    But I still have the same problem! In the main editor text field characters are shown in white, so they are not visible unless I mark them.

    Found the cause of the problem! Looks like a bug!

    In /wp/wp-admin/wp-admin.css line 1879 :

    .js .theEditor {
    color: white;
}

    This causes the text in the Editor to be white on a white background. Change the color to ‘black’ or whatever you want.

    The problem did not occur in our previous installation because there was no such entry in the wp-admin.css in WP 2.7.x
