Hello,

there is a strange behavior with Content Elements, which have an 
integrated flexform.

If there is a configuration in tt_content -> pi_flexform from a Plugin, 
TYPO3 shows only the default Flexform for the Content Element,after 
switching back.

To reproduce this you need a Content Element with Flexform and a plugin 
with Flexform.

Content Element could be this from Steffan Kamper:
http://buzz.typo3.org/people/steffen-kamper/article/integrating-own-content-elements/
You find the Example Extension at the end of article.

(Hope this linking is ok)

Plugin with flexform could be tt_news.

Now create a Content Element, choose "My Own CE" (from steffen's 
Extension) and save it.
Now switch this Content Element to Plugin and choose tt_news, save it.

Now Go Back to "My Own CE", the flexform part shows now "
DEF:
The Title:" and an Input Field.

That's the default flexform Config from TYPO3.

This could be very confusing for an editor.

What do you think ?
