WYSIWYG Editor affected in CiviCRM 5.8.0

added needs:concept approval sig:bug triaged labels

In my instantion i see "configure ckeditor" button, but he disappear after few sec. I use Drupal 7.61 and CiviCRM 5.8.1 In this gif i will reload settings page

I am also seeing this on CiviCRM 5.8.0 and CiviCRM 5.8.1 on Joomla (but I don't see the Configure CKEditor button at all unlike @marcineq however).

I did a brand new Joomla installation + CiviCRM 5.8.1 to test it. After installing CiviCRM from scratch, these are the steps I used to reproduce the problem:

Go to Administer > CiviMail > Message templates, Add New. CKEditor is working.
Go to Administer > Display Preferences, the out-of-the-box setting for Wysiwyg Editor will be "Textarea", even though CKEditor is working.
Change the value of Wysiwyg Editor to CKEditor and click Save
Go to Administer > CiviMail > Message templates, Add New. CKEditor is now not present; a text area will be present for HTML instead.
No difference if Wysiwyg Editor is changed back to Textarea.

I could reproduce the above steps on dmaster, although after I saved Display Preferences you won't get CKEditor back until dmaster is refreshed.

Before doing the above I dumped the values in the civicrm_setting table for comparison. It contained only the following initially:

INSERT INTO `civicrm_setting` VALUES (1,'resCacheCode','s:5:\"cwvVv\";',1,NULL,1,NULL,'2018-12-17 09:29:31',NULL),
(2,'installed','i:1;',1,NULL,1,NULL,'2018-12-17 09:29:08',NULL),
(3,'navigation','s:8:\"eJRrOipD\";',1,2,0,NULL,'2018-12-17 09:29:50',2),
(4,'site_id','s:32:\"ad0b365819be56e7632257b473970958\";',1,NULL,1,NULL,'2018-12-17 09:29:50',2);

After saving Display Preferences, there are 14 more values in that table. The row 'editor_id' is the relevant one:

(13,'editor_id','s:1:\"2\";',1,NULL,1,NULL,'2018-12-17 09:32:52',2)

Deleting that row brings CKEditor back again (until Display Preferences are saved again), and this is also a workaround until this bug is fixed:

DELETE FROM civicrm_setting WHERE name = 'editor_id';

@andrewpthompson thank you for the temporary fix, It works.

@andrewpthompson Thanks, your temp fix worked for me as well. 5.8.0 Drupal

@andrewpthompson thank you for the temporary fix - was driving me nuts.

@ErikHommel I think this should be tagged as a regression.
