[webkit-dev] Reporting FCKeditor related bugs

[Frederico Caldeira Knabben]

Thanks for the comments Maciej. I've just filled 15 new reports with generic
descriptions. I'll try to refine them in the future whenever possible.

It seams that some bugs can be solved with workarounds in the editor code.
I've still to check it.

Having those bugs fixed will make FCKeditor close to be officially announced
as compatible with Safari. I'm excited with it!

Regards,
FredCK
