Problem/Motivation

I'm leaning into the fact that there is technically a regression from the toolbar config in CKEditor 4 because while it's a regression, it's one that moves from "near-unusable" to "completely-unusable" - and even in CK4 it's likely completely unusable to those who benefit from WHCM.

Toolbar config in CK4

Firefox

Edge

The icon content is visible, but at a very low contrast ratio, so not particularly useful to users requiring high contrast mode. Users that don't require it but happen to be using it might be able to get by with some squinting.

Toolbar config in CK5

Firefox

Edge

Icon content is not present at all.

How the actual CKEditor 5 *editor* looks in WCHM


Per #7, this is an upstream bug: https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5/issues/14907. We should wait for the upstream fix so we can match the behavior in our admin UI's markup & CSS, to ensure a consistent experience.

Pretty good in Firefox!

This screenshot is from Firefox. It's not currently possible to test this in Edge because of this bug: #3270108: Editor does not load when using Edge + WHCM → (Edge + WHCM results in the browser being detected as IE11, and not loading CKEditor at all)

Not so good in Edge!

CKeditor 4 has this WHCM fallback in both Edge and Firefox
