CKeditor crashes and prevents saving on 10.5 in some circumstances.

Open on Drupal.org →
Created on 25 June 2025, 17 days ago

Problem/Motivation

CKEditor does not load when editing a node with certain field or filter configurations, preventing submission of the edit form if the field is required, and preventing anything in the field being saved if not.

Reverting to 10.4.8 fixes the problem.

Here is the full error message from the console:

Steps to reproduce

I'm uncertain how this incompatibility is triggered, but looking at past issues with CKEditor and the variable that's failing, I suspect it's probably something to do with the `link` field on the node, or perhaps the editor's configuration for a particular format. However, I'm disinclined to believe the second, as the format that's loaded by default has no editor assigned.

Here are the field definitions for the content type this error is happening upon:

```
field_file File
field_datetime_range Date range
field_description Text (formatted, long)
field_link Link
field_meta_tags Meta tags
rabbit_hole__settings Rabbit hole
field_show_link Boolean
field_type List (text)
```

Here are the YML config definitions for the filter formats used on this content type:

##### `restricted_html`

This format is the one that loads by default.
