Ctrl+s discards edited article instead of saving it

[makermann]

Steps to reproduce the issue

Create a new article or open an existing article.
Edit the article text. Or change an image etc.
Press the keys Ctrl and S (Ctrl+s).

Expected result

The edited version of the article is saved. Or no action, so the changed text ist still available.

Actual result

The page is reloaded. The user is directed to the article list page (com_content, view=articles). The article is checked out. All changes are lost.

System information (as much as possible)

Server: Joomla 3.7.2., php 7, Using default tinymce as the editor plugin, standard out of the box Joomla, no plugins for article editing, no K2.

Desktop: Suse Linux, Browser: Firefox.

Additional comments

I have lost multiple edits due to the engrained automatic pressing of Ctrl+s.
Hence the behavior of the Joomla article editor-view has led me to lose hours of my valuable time. So right now the only solution is, not to use the article editor for writing articles (only for entry). Which is the purpose of the editor in the first place.

Using cmd+s, alt+s or ctrl+s doesn't reload Page. cmd+s open the Dialog to save as html-Site.
Please see Comment.

I can confirm:
Edit the article text.
Press the keys Ctrl and S (Ctrl+s).
The page is reloaded. The user is directed to the article list page (com_content, view=articles). The article is checked out. All changes are lost.

3x Firefox, but Issue only on Linux. Can someone test on Windows?

[brianteeman]

tested chrome on windows
Ctrl-s will close the editor and return to the list view without saving
tested edge on windows
Ctrl-s will close the editor and return to the list view without saving
tested ie11 on windows
Ctrl-s will close the editor and return to the list view without saving
tested firefox on windows
Ctrl-s will close the editor and return to the list view without saving

NOTE to testers

This only happens when the cursor is in the tinymce editor - if it is anywhere else on the page then cyrl-s will open a browser dialogue to try and save the page locally

@brianteeman you're right: also on Mac using cmd+s and Curser is in TinyMCE-Editor the Page gets reloaded and Article checked-out in List-View without saving Changes.

Few months ago we had that code in J4. now that code is not there anymore... 😞

[brianteeman]

It's not related to that. I gave the tinymce link that is the cause earlier

[dgrammatiko]

@brianteeman following the instructions of the link you pasted above, this can be fixed by adding this:

		if (tinyMCE && typeof tinyMCE === 'function') {
			button.type = 'submitbtn';
		}

@DGT41 I tried your solution. It doesn't work (mac here). Result is the same as described above.

@ghazal Have you also made changes to https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/staging/media/system/js/core.js. If not, the changes will be visible only when system debug mode is enabled

[ghazal]

Yes, of course ...
