FreeBSD, WordPress 2.7.x and TinyMCE

    Today I started to write a post while on my FreeBSD box. I’m using Firefox 3.0 and I noticed that TinyMCE is only showing me the HTML view of the editor. I cannot click visual at all.

    On Windows with Firefox 3.0 the same works without problems, so it is not the files in my install.

    When I went to the TinyMCE homepage I went to the ‘full featured example’ page and that worked without any problems.

    As such I am ruling out that my Firefox 3.0 on FreeBSD has any problems with JavaScript or TinyMCE’s use of it. But what could it be, a bug in WordPress or the TinyMCE version included? Any help debugging this a bit would be appreciated before I log a bug report.

    Just checked with Opera 9.63 as well, same problem. It’s like something is detecting ‘freebsd’ and not allowing to use the visual mode.

    Turns out, after the necessary debugging, that for some reason (GCC or cosmic rays) lighttpd 1.4.21 was not compiled well. It only happened on this particular file (tiny_mce.js). A forced recompile later (with exact the same options, flags and all) and everything works.

    Actually, it turns out it was a bug in lighttpd 1.4.21’s handling of sendfile() on FreeBSD.
