"Discontiguous selection is not supported error" in Chrome

[deeknow]

(customer report) "You might want to warn users about this. Relevant to 'Range.detach' is now a no-op, as per DOM" and "Discontiguous selection is not supported." errors when loading a page with 0 dependecies package"

Reopening issue which was reported in #176 originally. Testing showed the error was presenting itself in Chrome only. Recommended fix is to update the Rangy JS lib as the author has now implemented a solution for the Chrome behaviour (which is apparently throwing an error when it shouldn't)

fix will be applied to the raptor-dependencies repo which is cloned as part of the standard raptor-editor build process

#176

thanks Petah: going to push the 1.3 final release of Rangy to the dependencies sub-project

[Petah]

It wont work out of the box as there was some mods made to Rangy

[deeknow]

There's no history of the mods by you in the -dependencies project. Realise this was awhile ago but any idea when it was roughly that the rangy code was last pulled from Tim. I see there's a build date of 22/Feb/2014 but don't see a tagged release from him at that time for 1.3a, maybe some of the history got lost when his project was migrated over from Google code? Would be great to get a date then we could do a diff and see what was changed by you, that way Rangy can move forward in future if required.

Here is some of them: https://github.com/PANmedia/raptor-editor/commits/master/src/dependencies/rangy/rangy-cssclassapplier.js

The raptor-dependencies repo was split out of the main repo, so log will be in there if you search for them.

There is also this: https://github.com/PANmedia/raptor-dependencies/blob/master/rangy/rangy-applier.js which I think might have been custom, not sure though. Not sure where/if its used either.

[deeknow]

Great stuff. I'll take a squiz and see how much effort is required to patch that over the 1.3.0 final release. And yeah rangy-applier looks to be based on cssapplier but is a new custom file altogether so I'll assume it can be left as is for now. Thanks again.

Any progress on this? The error can cause issues if you have unhandled exception detection software that logs to a third party service. You end up getting many unnecessary log entries. Any work arounds apart from patching the code would be greatly appreciated.
