Expected behavior

Actual behavior

No connection. If I wrote my text in Sublime Text, I can not see text in textarea fields in browser.

Steps to reproduce

The problem is reproduced for me in a version of Sublime Text, Firefox and Chrome without plugins and user settings.

I install Firefox addon and Sublime Text package. I install nircmd files in C:\Windows and C:\Windows\nircmd folders. I restart Sublime Text and Firefox.

I install MarkdownEditing plugin, I select MarkdownGFM syntax:

>>> view.settings().get('syntax')
'Packages/MarkdownEditing/Markdown.tmLanguage'

Sublime console output, when I start Sublime Text:

reloading plugin GhostText.FocusSublimeWindow
reloading plugin GhostText.GhostText
GhostText is starting now…
Setting on request handler

I press Ghost button in Firefox page with textarea element, textarea element now have blue border for me:

Sublime Text window now active for me. Sublime Text console output:

WebSocketServer id: 1
Setting on message handler
Setting on close handler
Start
Listening on: 55603

But if I wrote text in my Sublime Text markdown file, text not print in Firefox textarea field.

Environment

Operating system and version: Windows 32-bit 10.0.14393 Sublime Text: Build 3126 Firefox: 49.0.2 nircmd: 2.81 GhostText for Firefox: 0.0.10.1-signed.1-signed

@bfred-it, I'm sorry, this solution not solved my problem.

1. If I install new addon as Load Temporary Add-on addon was removed in next Firefox seance. I don't want download GhostText each time, when I want to use GhostText.
2. Solution not worked for me. If I press Ghost Button, I not get blue border in textarea element and I can not output in Sublime Text console. Firebug output:

Got message: Object { action="select-field",  tabId=1}
content.js (line 39)
<System>

GhostText: selectField()
content.js (line 150)
<System>

Thanks.

1. Unfortunately I can't do anything about since my collaborator @Cacodaimon hasn't updated the extension on Mozilla's site
2. Does it work here on GitHub? You should be seeing this when you click on GT's button and then click on the textarea

[Kristinita]

@bfred-it, GhostText not worked in GitHub for me. Actual behavior for me:

May you say step-by-step actions for your behavior?

Thanks.

1. Open Sublime Text with GhostText installed
2. Open https://github.com/GhostText/GhostText/issues/88
3. Click on GhostText's button
4. See this message
5. Click on the reply textarea
6. See this message
7. See the textarea turn blue

Thank you very much! Now is worked for me.

But I still have problem 1. GhostText addon for Firefox was removed if I restart Firefox. I don't have answer in Super User. I'm not Firefox developer( . Any ideas? I think, it is critical problem and you may lose many Firefox users.

Thanks.

👍

Yeah unfortunately there's nothing I can do. I can't publish a new version of GhostText to Mozilla Addons :(

[Kristinita]

@bfred-it , I asked in MozillaZine and Super User, but I have not success. I unsuccessfully write to @Cacodaimon. Any ideas?

And why issue is closed? Firefox problem is not solved.

Thanks.

[fregante]

Issue closed because:

1. it relates to an older unsupported version
2. Cacodaimon is already aware of the problem and thus is a duplicate of https://github.com/GhostText/GhostText/issues/70
