Max char limit for textarea does not show when WYSIWYG Editor is selected in fabrik

Works fine with no WYSIWYG but not with TinyMCE (Fabrik 3.4.3 + master J!3.5.1)

Correct. We should probably say that in the tooltip for the max length setting. It only shows in non-WYSIWYG.

Understood. Thanks.

The reason being that once you enable WYSIWYG, the editor then takes control of the input, it's no longer going in to the 'textarea' form input we have control over, and every WYSIWYG editor extension has a different way of doing it (usually involving hiding the textarea and rendering their own DOM structure, and only copying the text from their DOM to the form's textarea when the user blurs out of it, or when the form is submitted), so it's almost impossible for us to provide a way of doing it.

Thank you for your explanation. From what you say, the limiting feature should belong, in fact, to the editor itself.

I, finally use JCE. But it does not look like that it has such a feature (just counting and showing words).
Other editors neither.
