TiddlyWiki and GhostText not working together #236

Closed holdenrohrer closed 1 year ago

Firefox 104.0.1 Vim 9.0 https://github.com/raghur/vim-ghost Arch Linux 2022-10-22

Hey! I think there was a regression from #137 at some point because GhostText and TiddlyWiki are still not working together for me (I use vim primarily, but it still shows up with Sublime Text).

Description: The GhostText addon tells me to click on the field I want to edit (even if there's only one on the page) and then shows a green highlight until I come back about a minute later and click something, so it goes away.

Issue: GhostText fails to connect on a TiddlyWiki page

Steps to repeat: This can be repeated here: https://tiddlywiki.com/. Click on the edit symbol (pencil) on one of the notes, and try to edit it through "right-click > edit with GhostText" or by clicking the addon.

I may try writing a patch for this myself since I have a little experience with writing addons, but I figured I should reopen the issue.

Sorry for the late answer. It seems that it does work in Chrome, but it also occasionally fails, the script doesn't seem to be injected in the iframe. I wonder what's causing it. They have a local iframe just for the editor.

In Firefox it never seems to work.

So I found the answer, it's a Firefox bug: they just don't support iframes with the current permissions https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1653408
