WYSIWYG Editor will not activate in Chrome - tinymce

Asking and answering in case (unlikely) anyone else comes across this.
We had a few users (4 out of maybe 15) report that the default WYSIWYG editor would not activate at all in v10+ 2sxc.
We finally figured out that the client's IT dept had Chrome self-updating blocked on some of their older machines. So we verified that Chrome v56, 57, 60, and (maybe) as high as 68 all had this problem with TinyMCE activating. It would stay greyed-out when you clicked on it.

So if not obvious from above, the fix is to upgrade Chrome to the latest version. I realize this will affect very few people. Cheers!

This can be really helpful! thanks!
PS: best mark as answered ;)

ExtJs 2.0 form moves in Chrome 39 when is filling or press 'Tab' key

Someone knows why my form is moving when I press 'Tab' key or I edit it when it's filled ?
This only happens in Chrome 39, in old versions works OK and in Firefox or IE works fine too.
Thanks !! It's seems that the css is the same before and after fill the input.
If the version is not a typo, Ext JS 2.0 was released 7 years ago in Dec 2007 when Chrome still had one year to go before its initial release. Hence, you cannot expect a good compatibility of the old library with modern browsers.
Nevertheless, if the problem appears only in one version 39 of Chrome and the application is most likely that it is the problem of that specific version. You can report it to Chrome development team but I don't think that anything beyond that is worth the effort.
Fixing and changing that old application can be more costly, depending on size, than upgrading it to the latest Sencha libraries.
I solved it fixing the width of the text fields to fit the content.

Facebook comments box plugin suddently not working in IE11

I have used the Facebook comments boxes on most of the pages on my website for about a year.
It works fine in Firefox - my preferred browser.
I am quite sure I must have checked it in MS-IE back then. I don't remember the last time I checked it in MS-IE, but now it doesn't work anymore. It has disappeared.
A few months ago I added jQuery to my pages, to be able to add 'tabindex="1"' in the following way: (<)div id="outer" tabindex="1"(>)
I am pretty sure I must have checked it again in MS-IE too, but in any case I have just created a test-page where I removed it here:
http://www.transformation.dk/index-dan-test.html
But that didn't make any difference. It is still not showing up in MS-IE11.
Is there a current incompatibility between IE11 and the fb comments box?
I hope someone can help.

The above problem is on a Windows 7 64-bit machine. Now I have tried reinstalling MS-EI11 and deleting the browser cache. But that didn't help.
BUT on my Win 7 32-bit machine the facebook comments box plugin DOES work!
I am just discovering the exact same problem. Same IE version, same machine, too. It really did seem to work last week or so.
The Facebook feed box works in Mozilla, Chrome, Opera, and Safari.
My comment is probably not directly helpful to you, but perhaps builds more evidence that it is not just YOU, right?

MATLAB help/documentation not displaying correctly

I'm having a problem with the built-in help/documentation within MATLAB 2013a (issue also present in 2012b).
Upon opening the help files the pages appear with no formatting, only plain text. Search results do appear correctly though.
I have found only one instance of someone else with this issue, on MATLAB central here. However, there are no responses to the author's question. The issue I'm having is exactly the same as described there.
I have tried removing the preference folder and relaunching MATLAB but this doesn't help.
I'm using Windows 8.1 and MATLAB 2013a.
Any help or suggestions on how to fix this would be very much appreciated.
Edit:
Thank you everyone for the feedback so far. I don't believe java to be the issue, I have the latest version installed (1.7.0_45) while MATLAB uses it's own version (1.6.0_17). Both of which co-exist on my machine.
Following horchler's thread led me to another semi-related bug report here. The following code is listed at the bottom of the workaround (the script attached to the workaround didn't fix anything unfortunately).
com.mathworks.mlwidgets.html.HtmlComponentFactory.setDefaultType('HTMLRENDERER');
This results in a degraded appearance of documentation pages and loss of some functionality but is still an improvement over the plain text and scrambled pages.
Hopefully from this new information we can work towards a solution!
One solution is to go back to IE-10, or to use the patch on http://www.mathworks.com/support/bugreports/989850
Which basically replaces the localnav.js at <MATLAB>/help/includes/product/scripts
The link to download!
This is an old post, but I had the same issue and have a fix (not downloading R2013b or java related). Just downgrade from IE 11 to 10: Go to System (or System & Security)->Windows Update->View Update History->Installed Updates -> Find IE11 and uninstall it. Your system should revert back to the prior installed version. This fixed the help issues.
The problem is related to Internet Explorer 11, which MATLAB uses to render its help files. I was experiencing this problem in Windows 7 and rolling back to IE 10 fixed it right up. Unfortunately, that's not an option with Windows 8.

How exactly do I fix my eclipse and not the bug?

I have this bug in my eclipse which causes the screen to go black when moving unfocused tab around, it's really annoying and I'm trying to figure out how do I apply the fix mentioned in the above link. I tried to understand this answer and I also saw this answer but these didn't help, and trying to google for it brings up either info about how to fix the bugs themselves, or how to create patches.
I just want to fix my eclipse, the bug has been already fixed and I want to apply that fix to my eclipse, any thorough and detailed answers are welcome,
thanks
Just upgrade your Eclipse installation to 4.3. The bug has been fixed in that version and that version was released in June 2013.

New Appbuilder: Crash when hightlight text > right click in Chrome

In the new app builder, when you are in Chrome, and you highlight some text and right click it to copy it, it kills Chrome and you have to relaunch your browser, so all of your progress is lost. I keep forgetting to just ctrl + c, and it literally restarts my browser like once every 10 mins. So, I keep losing work.
This is a bug in Ace Editor, the editor that AppBuilder uses. Bug info here:
https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace/issues/100
There is some indication that the newest release of Chrome does fix the problem. Can you test and confirm?
(Oh, and to agree with Mike Grace, this really is a better email to support then a question on SO.)
