[wp-testers] Tiny MCE Editor Buggy

[Gene Steinberg]

1. Media library popup. Remember that it worked OK in Firefox 3.0b4.

2.  I selected the text, as always, and attempted to add a URL. This  
failed in both of the foregoing browsers, but previously, with version  
2.33 of WP, succeeded in the latter. I never used Safari as it was not  
compatible.

3.  I have to test this further. It was always fine in Firefox. Safari  
is new to me as far as working with WP.

Peace,
Gene
