I disagree. If we follow your proposal, we should move lots of things outside of core (anything with bugs). May be we should drop the whole core because it has bugs. Bugs are not the reason to exclude something from core.

Btw, if you found bugs, you should report them to BT. Putting them here is not the right step on the way to solve them.

Or you can stop using t3editor. But you should not prevent others to use it.

Not exactly. I had similar issue yesterday but could not reproduce it later.

When I tried to save, changes were not saved. There were no JS errors but after save I saw old TS.

What I did is: I took TS into a regular text editor (TextEdit on Mac) and reformatted it manually to see if there are any errors. Could not find any but as a result I made a good cleanup of a long TS from my test site.

Pasted it back to t3editor and could save without problem. Why? No idea.

Not true. See: http://www.screencast.com/t/T9zf4OI2

Again, if you found a bug, it can be solved only if you report it.

Possible. This is a new code. True for most of new code. There are many glitches even in the code introduced in 4.0!

I completely disagree. I use t3editor often and it is wonderful thing. I really love it!
