Ive been realising something over the last few days as I have used a variety of online tools claiming WYSIWYG functionality. (I will spare their blushes). I have encountered the following;
- mysterious duplicate snippets of code appearing in widgets on websites
- undisplayable images creating blank spaces on the screen and masking other content
- pages veering out of printable area in browsers
- random colour changing
Browser and plugin differences obviously are partly to blame but one does get the feeling sometimes that the editors were designed for the web as it was about 5 years ago. They just can't handle the volume of linking and embedded code that is the norm these days. Arcane, forgotten early html formatting rules still apply in some of them that dissapeared thankfully with Frontpage.
I don't know.
