If you find a systematic way to reproduce the bug, can you post it in Gemini? Some of us can randomly trigger it, but it seems a specific procedure is needed.

An here's how to temporarily fix the bug:

1. Open TextEditor.vb in Library/Controls/

2. Find the following codes:

           Set(ByVal Value As String)
                Dim objUserInfo As UserInfo = UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo

                If Value.ToUpper <> "BASIC" Then
                    Me.view_state.Item("DesktopMode") = "RICH"

                    If objUserInfo.UserID >= 0 Then
                        Personalization.SetProfile("DotNetNuke.TextEditor", "PreferredTextEditor", "RICH")
                    End If
                Else
                    Me.view_state.Item("DesktopMode") = "BASIC"

                    If objUserInfo.UserID >= 0 Then
                        Personalization.SetProfile("DotNetNuke.TextEditor", "PreferredTextEditor", "BASIC")
                    End If
                End If
            End Set

and change "BASIC" to "RICH" in the red line. After that recompile Dotnetnuke Library and upload the new Dotnetnuke.dll to the bin folder.

If anyone needs a copy of the dll file, please email me at lehoangduc1990 [at] gmail.com, but please be aware that mine is compiled for DNN 4.9.4.

I certainly had a issue in 5.0.1 whereby basic text box will ALWAY default whatever happened.

I probably spent a day trying to repro the issue but I could not, so I had to do some hard coding (and even this wasn't a great solution).

If anybody can get a DNN virgin install to exibit this behaviour, please comment with steps to reproduce here.

Otherwise I fear the issue will be closed - no issue reproduction = no issue.

Thanks
