When a user clicks on Edit Item for a previously populated and saved List item in SharePoint Services 3.0, the "edit item page" appears but the rich-text multi-line field is blank ... until it is right clicked on in the white space of the multi-line field, then the content that had been previously saved appears. Should the user fail to right-click in the white space of the multi-line field before saving the List item again, the content previously saved will be saved over as blank. Only recoverable by version control (if enabled for that List).Not tested on Office XP or Internet Explorer v6. Versions: Office Pro 2007 Internet Explorer v8 Windows XP SP3 SharePoint Services 3.0 SP2 CUAug2010 Column Setting: Append Changes to Existing Text = NO (default) Specify the type of text to allow = Rich Text I was able to reproduce the issue on different desktops with different List items on different Sites for both MOSS 2007 and WSS 3.0. Clearing the browser cache doesnt resolve it. I've proven it to be intermittent at best. It would seem to be an ActiveX refresh issue. I am out of ideas. I cannot find anything remotely related to this on the InterWebs. Help?

Hi, Thanks to share your post in this forum. For the issue that you encountered, is it due to the speed of the intranet? Or have a check the code of the page, and find the document.body.onload= function (), find if there are any problems. Apart from this, here are some useful links which might give you a hand: http://sharepointcoding.wordpress.com/2009/05/28/wss-rich-text-column-in-document-library/ http://vogtland.ws/MarksBlog/?p=75. Hope it helps! Leo
