RTE styles stripped in BlockGrid Views

[craigs100]

Which Umbraco version are you using? (Please write the exact version, example: 10.1.0)

11.2.2

Bug summary

When trying to align text or adding any inline styles to RTE content they are stripped out when viewed in a BlockGrid view

Specifics

The RTE Slide out shows the correct style, the front end web page shows the correct style yet the view used in the back office BlockGrid strips out the inline styles completely.

Back office slide out editor

Back office BlockGrid view

Web page

As you can see the formatting is not there for the BlockGrid view. This is also the case on the Umbraco BlockGrid Demo site.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create an RTE BlockGrid iaw the docs. Also create a back office view for the BlockGrid.
2. Use the RTE block in a page's BlockGrid and edit it's content.
3. Using the RTE toolbar, or manually, set some text to align center and submit the change. Note the text in the BlockGrid view is still left aligned.
4. Save and publish the page and/or save and preview, either way, view the web page and notice the text added is centre aligned.

Expected result / actual result

Expected the Block Grid RTE to faithfully reflect the edited content

What happened was the RTE content was stripped of all inline styles in the BlockGrid view.

Hi there @craigs100!

Firstly, a big thank you for raising this issue. Every piece of feedback we receive helps us to make Umbraco better.

We really appreciate your patience while we wait for our team to have a look at this but we wanted to let you know that we see this and share with you the plan for what comes next.

• We'll assess whether this issue relates to something that has already been fixed in a later version of the release that it has been raised for.
• If it's a bug, is it related to a release that we are actively supporting or is it related to a release that's in the end-of-life or security-only phase?
• We'll replicate the issue to ensure that the problem is as described.
• We'll decide whether the behavior is an issue or if the behavior is intended.

We wish we could work with everyone directly and assess your issue immediately but we're in the fortunate position of having lots of contributions to work with and only a few humans who are able to do it. We are making progress though and in the meantime, we will keep you in the loop and let you know when we have any questions.

Thanks, from your friendly Umbraco GitHub bot :robot: :slightly_smiling_face:

Working on this - seems to be the default sanitization of angular removing the style tags created in the rich text.
