Can't write in Visual editor on Opera using WP 3.2

Does it work in any other browser? IE9/Chrome/Firefox etc?

This will allow us to determine whether the issue is with Opera or WordPress.

It works nice on IE8. It seems the problem to be on Opera

I’m not familiar with Opera, so I’m not sure how you would go about debugging a web page. See if you can find a console or debugger and post any output.

Try disabling all plugins and reverting to the Twenty Eleven theme in WordPress and also try disabling any plugins in Opera.

Disabling Opera Plug-ins didn’t change anything. This is what comes up on error Console:

Also verified that this is working using Opera 11.50 and Win 7. The Visual editor doesn’t respond when using WinXP SP3 and Opera 11.50

Have you tried doing a clean re-install on the XP machine?(ie Uninstall, reboot, reinstall)

The error log shows that there is a JavaScript error being triggered by TinyMCE – the visual editor used by WordPress. Have you done anything that could damage Opera (or Windows’) support for JavaScript? Old versions of Registry Mechanic and JavaRa have been known to cause this issue.

I have tried it on new WinXP and Opera installation and the same problem exists.

I also tried reinstalling Java and the problem still exists.

I found a workaround on this issue.

1. Install and Activate “Advanced TinyMCE Config” plugin
2. Navigate at: Settings -> TinyMCE Config
3. On “Option name” field, enter: paste_auto_cleanup_on_paste
4. On “Value” field, enter: false
5. Click “Save Changes”

Now, Visual Editor doesn’t freeze when you paste text on it.
